rash - roseola?
Alexander & I took a nap yesterday from 4 to 5 & when I woke up his cheeks
were all red & rash covered. First I thought it might be because I used a lotion that had buttermilk in it (we're still not sure exactly what he's allergic to) but I don't know. I gave him a bath but that didn't help. The rash on his stomach & chest looks a lot like this: http://galenslog.typepad.com/galens_...a_1_010422.jpg but the rash on his face looks sort of like that but more concentrated & pushed together. so it's like one big piece of red skin. It started on the left side of his face and over the night spread to the other side of his face & chin. Anyone have any experience with this? Anything I can do? It's apparantly itchy because he woke up several times in the night rubbing his face against my shirt. I read on the web that there are two types of dangerous rashes & those descriptions don't fit this one so I'm not scared. I just wish I could make him a little more comfortable. -- Rebecca Jo Mama to Alexander 6/6/05 |

He was super cranky the day before but no detectable fever. Any idea what the rash could be? Is there anything I can use/give him to help with the itchiness? rj |

I gave him a bath in some aveeno oatmeal bath stuff. Hope it helps with the itching. Kind of hard to tell with a 4 month old who can't tell you he's itching! :) Thanks for well wishes! Rebecca |

Sina had a rash like this one, but it was associated with a fever too.
She had a Three-day-fever (roseola infantum). After outting her on medication (I want to say anti-histamine) and a fever reducer. It just faded away. The rash was so bad, that when I took her to the doctor, he suspected chickenpox. But as it improved with the medication, he said that it wasn't. Have your son checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. Mona Rebecca Jo wrote: Alexander & I took a nap yesterday from 4 to 5 & when I woke up his cheeks were all red & rash covered.

Mona I think I'm going to bathe him in the oatmeal bath when it looks like it's bothering him & just wait for it to go away. If it takes longer than 5 days, I'll call the doctor. From everything I've read, it's not dangerous to have a rash as long as he doesn't appear to have breathing problems & it isn't one of the types of rashes that need a doctor's attention immediately. Thanks for the advice, though. rj |
