[|Human|] My 10 month old baby had one spot on his cheek last week that was very red for a day and then got a white center to it and popped about 24 hours after it appeared. I took him to the doctor and they didn t know what caused it, but gave us a prescription antibiotic cream to put on it. Today, my baby woke with another spot on his other cheek and one on his let. Do you think they could be gnat bites? He is outside at daycare for a couple of hours each day. I know that they are NOT mosquito bites.
[|AI|]  Hello there, thanks for using Chat Doctor. From what you've described, it seems like your baby has furunculosis or a small abscess. It should settle on its own and if it is very painful, causes fever or large, may require an incision to Chat Doctor.  I would advise you to wait and match unless he develops spots around his mouth or under his nose, in which case he will need antibiotics.  Another thing to keep in mind is that if he gets fur uncles often, he may have a bug called Staph aureus in his nostrils or armpits and will need a decolonization regimen with mupirocin ointment in both nostrils for 7 days, and a chlorhexidine body wash for 10 days. Hope this helps you.
