Answer 1

It may be some sort of a rash, I would get it checked out.  My son breaks out with funny rashes sometimes and they bother him when he sleeps because of the heat. Heat makes them worse. If it is a bug bite, I would try neosporin over the hydrocortozone cream and cover it with a bandaide so it will stay on. It could also be chiggers. Them things itch like crazy and last forever!  A dab of clear nail polish over the top takes the itch away and helps them heal faster.

Answer 2

see the doctor!!!!!!

Answer 3

are you sure it isn't poision ivy?

Answer 4

i know im like 14 but i got bugg bites ALOTT

and they mostly lasted a long time when they were spider bites

considering your child is younger and the skin is more sensitive

it could just have lasted a while longer

i would wait a few days and see what happens

and then take em to the doctor!! =]

Answer 5

my kids bites last up to a week. I put lavender on. Why it is that time of night is because she has warmed up and it is making her itchy. Talk to the doc about an antihystermine for her at night
