I just found this on my toddler's thigh. It's about 5/8 of an inch in across the middle, and slightly raised. Anyone know what it could be?

(sorry so big, I don't know how to get it any smaller)

I am NOT a doctor... Just a mom...

It looks like abug bite that was scratched excessively..
OR
Maybe some sort of skin fungal infection that would require a medicated cream of some sort.

BUT remember I am NOT a doctor...

It looks like a bite. I would advise you to just look out if your child is acting different, and if the redness grows.

My first thought is it might be a tick bite?

I thought it was a bite also, but he has loads of mosquito bites and none of them look anything like this - this one is about 3x the size. I wonder what could have bitten him that left something like this. I doubt it's a tick, I have seen those before but they didn't look like this. Plus I haven't found an actual tick, and also he wasn't near any grass or bushes or anyplace there are deer. It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. Of course I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it's getting better and get it checked out if needs be, I'm just wondering what caused it.

Definitely looks like a bite. If it doesn't get worse and she seems okay, I would ignore it.
