Abstract

With the arrival of the warmer months, children and families naturally spend more time outdoors, increasing their exposure to various environmental elements-including insects. Insect bites are a common concern in pediatric dermatology, often presenting with a spectrum of symptoms that range from mild local irritation to more significant inflammatory reactions. Early recognition and timely intervention are crucial to prevent complications and ensure effective symptom management.
