These are all caused by inflammatory infections.

You can also use external anti-inflammatory drugs such as Bactroban and erythromycin ointment for treatment. Especially after being bitten by mosquitoes, it is important to avoid children scratching and causing secondary infection, so children's nails must be trimmed.
