My baby was bitten by insects two days ago, and now the area looks like a burn with some fluid. What should I do?

If the insect bite now looks like a burn and has fluid, it may be infected or causing a strong skin reaction. Gently clean the area with clean water, do not burst the blister, and keep it dry. You can apply a mild antiseptic. See a paediatrician as your baby may need proper treatment.

It sounds concerning that the insect bite area now looks like a burn with fluid, which may indicate infection or a severe skin reaction. You should avoid applying any creams without a doctor's advice and keep the area clean and dry.

  • Monitor for signs of worsening infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, spreading rash, or fever.
  • Do not burst any blisters or fluid-filled areas to prevent further infection.
  • Since the area looks like a burn with fluid, it is important to have a pediatric dermatologist or a pediatrician examine your baby promptly.
  • If you notice any difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or lips, or if your baby seems very unwell, seek emergency care immediately by calling Apollo Emergency at 1066.
