My LO has these little red bites on her knees, ankles, a few on her feet, some on the sides of her hands, on her knuckles, and a few scattered on her thighs. We're staying at my IL's right now, cosleeping on a pullout sofa mattress on the floor. She's also teething, has had a fever come and go for two days (first molars), and is starting to get some diaper rash, which is not really red, but small light, scattered dots. I have been putting bottom balm and another zinc oxide rash cream on her from the first sight of it, so it seems to be okay.
But these...bites? I think they might be bites. Can anyone help diagnose this? Some appear to be filled with yellowish/white fluid. Ant bites?
My niece was staying here, too, and she got larger bites on her knees that were clearly filled with fluid. My MIL said that they must have come from the pack n play that my SIL brought with her. But they've been gone for a few days now, and MY DD is starting to show these bites.
I'm not overly worried if they *are* bites, aside from the fact that they look uncomfortable. I just don't want to misdiagnose a rash or something worse.
Thoughts? TIA, mamas.

Interesting- my daughter just had some bumps show up similar to what you are describing- one on her head and one on her forearm. They look red on the outer, raised, yellow in the center, reminds me of a pimple. Same age- she is getting her molars in, but has none of the other stuff going on...The one on her head doesn't seem as aggrivated but the one on her forearm is a little more aggrivated than the one on her head ever got.
