Abstract

A 2-year-old boy showed itchy papules and wheals, which were diagnosed as papular urticaria. Papular urticaria are a hypersensitivity reaction after insect bites. The condition can relapse even without the presence of insects or new bites. Topical steroids or antihistamines diminish the symptoms in some cases.
