my daughter has a bump on her forearm and it is red around it and hurts and when she bends it feels numb and is very very numb! WHAT IS THIS?
it happened because her brother dragged her on the grass!

What can I do next?

Not sure why you assume it happened at that moment. I'm unfamiliar with a bump going numb. I do know a little girl whose first sign of cancer was a bump on her leg that her parents ignored too long. Soooo, see a doctor. You can try Benedryl to see if it is a reaction to a sting -- but I still don't connect the dots to "numb."

is this the same arm she sprained last week? She could have made the sprain worse.

Bee sting?

If it IS the same arm and you didn't get it checked out...sounds like it might be time.

It could possibly be a tick. Id get her checked out quickly just in case. It may be infected.

Maybe it's an insect bite. Sounds like a bee sting to me. Better call the dr.

I'm concerned that this might be the same injury you asked about a week or so back. If so, it really sounds like it's time to have a doctor look at this.

We don't have enough information to guess at the nature of this bump.

Please get her checked for Lyme disease ASAP. This is treatable IF it's treated right away; it causes lifelong damage if it's not.
