I know we have some medical professionals on this site….

I’m wondering if anyone has some idea what we are looking at or dealing with here (pic included)
It’s my 4 year old granddaughter and she just suddenly ‘grew’ this blister-type thing on her hand.
She says it didn’t itch but it was hurting

It’s been present for a few weeks now, and it has shrunk in size. Also, it’s not as ‘full’ or plump/juicy as it was at first.

They are waiting for her appointment with a doc but I’m wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to what we are dealing with…whether it might be contagious….or even some generic, cross the board type of topical ointment we could use on it in the meantime?

I don't have any idea what might have caused that. But if it's reducing in size, I think I'd just leave it alone.

Right click on pic, ask google to identify pic. Google thinks it’s a wart.

I'm not a professional

I think it looks like a wart or callus. To me that looks like a place someone would develop a wart because of friction from using tools or whatever

In her case, monkey bars??
It looks like a wart from the picture or erythema multiforme.
🤷🏻‍♀️
Maybe have a general practitioner see it if a dermatologist is not available.

I’d try an anti fungal cream, almost looks like it belongs in the athletes foot umbrella. Hopefully it goes away fast!

Spider bite maybe

@deadgerbil oh shoot! You’re lucky, no? I thought their bites can be deadly
(We don’t have those here)

@ImpeccablyImperfect they can be depending on how it progresses

This kid's kidneys shut down

@deadgerbil I was thinking same!

Looks like HFMD but could be an insect bite as well.

@deadteddy yeah I also wondered about HFMD but there aren’t any other visible lesions. That’s the only one.

Try holding an ice cube on it for 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, repeat as needed. It may reduce the swelling.

That is a wart. Compound W. Follow the directions on the box.

Flat warts. They go away on their own.

Owee ...Granny

Get to the ER, NOW, that could be MRSA, it's very dangerous if it is.
