My 10 yr old has 4 bites on one shoulder and 1 on forearm and 1 on her other shoulder, they look white with a red ring around it, about 1/2 to 1 and burning sensation.

It sounds like the kid is having an allergic reaction. Most bites, either mosquito or fire ant, do not result in a large ring around it -- they form just bumps.
You've had mosquito and ant bites some time in your life, did they look like that?

A mosquito bite is a small red bump, roughly the size of a dime.
This sounds like it may be lime disease, or some other infection. I would contact your doctor, as multiple spots with no recollection of an insect bite may indicate a more serious condition. I don't mean to startle you, and please take this and all advice on this site with a grain of salt.

That's probably not a mosquito bite. They sound like spider bites to me. Take him and have him checked.

You never saw a mosquito bite before? Well its kind of a bubble. It will always be red but it might have a little white if you scratch it alot

It looks like a little red bump, What your describing sounds like a possible tick bit.

It sounds like a fire ant bite... if you are located in that kind of area where she could get it... Like Tx.

i'd def bring him/her to his/her pediatrician, if it is lyme disease, it can be gotten rid of just with antibiotics
