Take her to the doctor. They may not be bites at all. She may have a skin disease or an allergy to the laundry soap or softener that you use.

u didn't mention what the bites are from ? if they are flea bites, get rid of her carpet, wash all the bedding / curtains on a hot wash, and get a professional steam cleaner to go over any carpets / furnishings that cannot be throw away or hot washed. i'd also steam clean her mattress if i were u. fleas, and especially their eggs, can be very difficult to get rid of, and the eggs can lie dormant for months in carpets and furnishings...... as for the bites, some people react worse than others to things like that. she may need a course of anti histamine tablets, or a steroid cream, just to reduce the itching and scarring. if in doubt, take her to a doctor. u don't want those bites to get infected.

Try going to her doctors. If not posible. Make sure she isn't allergic to her sheets, bed or any other stuff in the house. This could be what is causeing her problems. If she starts to get sickeir in anyway. Rush her to the doctors imidatly. Since she is so young. She may be induring new allergies that may be life threating.
Iam sorry that Iam not much of a help, but something close happened to a friends child of mine, She was allergic to the sheets on her bed. If posible take her to the doctor imedatedly. Hope I was itleast a bit of help. Don't try to many creams, they sometimes make it worse. or infected.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and you can use TEE TREE OIL it is a very powerful antiseptic, you can also use CALENDULA cream but you must find the source of these bites or the outcome will be very serious. Do you have an animal if so they could be flea bites. You don't say how big these bites are. Are you sure they are bites Contact me

It might be bedbugs. Bedbugs hide until it is dark and there is somebody in the bed. They suck on people's blood. If you have any pictures or outlets or anything hanging on the wall around her bed - pull it away from the wall and see if there are any bedbugs there or their eggs (the eggs are kind of black). Washing will not get rid of the bugs. They get into the mattress. Also - they hide everywhere. You have to remove them by using special spray and dust. Also - anything that has come in contact with the bed. If it is bedbugs - it will take time and money to get rid of them but you can do it. If you want to e-mail me for more info - please do.

I would first ask you if you have an animal such as a dog or cat that spends a lot of time in her room. If that is the case, the only way to get rid of them is to "bomb" her room. You can find this in a pet store. They will tell you what the best product for you is.

She might be getting these bites from outside, does she play on the grass or something? Well, if you go to the doctors, they'll probably give you something more powerful, etc

take her to the doctor, they may be able to run a test to see what kind of bug is biting her.
Try using the raid foggers in your house, it usually kills many bugs, if this doesnt work, try usind the pet powders that kills fleas and ticks on all her room and your house

you might have bed bugs or possibly flees (flees only bite my mother and no one else, I guess they like her blood the best). Go to the doctor and see if they can figure out what kind of bites they are, or at least they can recommend you to a dermitologist, and they might figure it out
if it's bed bugs here's a site i found that tells you how to kill them and sells stuff to kill them http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com/bed-bugs.htm
