7 year old unknown rash

My son gets the same thing. It is a skin condition that normally doesn't present itself until teenage years. It can be cause by anything - heat, cold, etc - and doesn't always appear for the same reason. It is not contgaious and all you can do is give him an antihistamine - like Bendryl. Does your son get the welts as well? I wish I could remember the exact name of the disease, it is a long word and really hard to say. I am going to dig out his medical file and look up the name of the disease. It took my son having this after his 12 month odl, 18 month old and then being a bit stressed out after a move for us to find out what it is. The only reason we know what it is, is because I took him to a Pediatrician that had other patients with the same disease. What caused my sons to originally appear was his 12 month old shots. I thought it was chicken pox but the military Dr's push it off as an alleric reaction to laundry detergent. Good news is that it looks worse than it really is.

It sounds like hives. Is your son stressed out about something?

I'd say it's an allergic reaction to something...have himm tested by the doctor..they can do what they call a "scratch" test will show anything he is allergic too.

Ask your Doctor for a referral to a dermatologist so the rash can be thoroughly investigated and appropriate medication, whether oral or a cream, prescribed. It cannot be much fun for your poor son to have a rash that annoys and irritates him. Good luck and I hope it is cleared up soon.

I'd check with a dermatologist...skin is their specialty. It could also be an allergic reaction to something he ate or touched. Be sure to have it checked out.

Maybe your son has skin allergies. I get what you have discribed alot, I can get it from anything, soaps,detergents, perfumes,colognes, makeup, types of juices Esspecially Lemon juice. usually I take a few baths, and some allergry medication and it goes away

this could be anything from contact dermititis to yeast infection. My son had a yeast infection on his face and other parts as well when he was younger. He's prone to lots of skin allergies such as hives r sensitivies as well. I say if you haven't taken him already make sure it's not something that can't be cleared with benadryll and hydrocortizne till you can. I hope all is well.

exzema or the other skin problem it starts with p.

I would definitely make a trip to your dermatologist, there they can test and see what's going on. Many test they can do in-office. Who knows, a test of any kind may not even be necessary. I hope you find the root of your problem. I can only imagine how uncomfortable your little boy is. Take care.
