My daughter is 6. Last Saturday she had a low grade temp. Next day she had a rash everywhere--teeny tiny bumps. Next day she woke up with 2 pimple like bumps above her lip. This morning she had several of these bumps around her nose and upper lip. No fever since Saturday. Bumps on face itch/hurt. Still has rash on torso and back and near crotch. Rash is not red, just teeny bumps like she's been rolling around in grass. Benadryl did nothing. Rash isn't that itchy. Thank you for your help.

Sounds like chicken pox to me my daughter had them when she was about 3 and only had two on her face.I would take her to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

yeah this sounds more like HIVES, an allergic reaction, than acne. Today is thanksgiving, doctors are not open, E.R. is the last place you wanna be on a holiday, do you have any baking soda?\nIt's a nuetralizer, what I would do, is rinse the effected area with cool water, gently blot dry w/ clean soft towel and apply a paste of Baking soda and cool water leave on for 5 min. repeat cool rinse, then just wait it out.\nWhat did you eat or drink yesterday, anything different? Red berries is a common rash source, there are others. Drinking lots of water with hydrate you and flush out your system...Good luck and happy t-day...

Yes I would check it out. Make sure you note whether or not it is itching. Triggered by certain foods. Have you changed your laundry detergent? Any fever? Necklaces (nickle allergy?) - there are many things that it could be caused by... so I would definately go to the doctor and make a mental note of any changes in diet, clothing, or jewlery. \n\nHope you feel better soon!\n-laura

Initially I thought scabies, but you said there was no itching. It could be warts. Try the symptom flowchart at http://familydoctor.org/x2552.xml

All my 4 kids have had it and anti itching creams and lotions did not work for any of them. What seemed to work best, was to take off as much of their clothes as possible: the warmer/sweatier they were, the more pox they got. What worked wonders for my youngest daughter was this syrup she took on doctor's prescription and ever so slightly numbed the nerve ends and therefor made her less itchy (I'm really sorry, I can't remember the name...). It made her a bit sleepy too, which was actually not too bad: the more they sleep, the quicker the body gets better!\nBy the way, my doctor did not want me to rub anything on the chickenpox, lotion or cream: according to her it made the chance of (mild) infections bigger, with the result not only that the skin is more irritated and itchier, but also  a much bigger chance of scars......

Don't worry she will be fine in a couple of days. Evryone has little arguements like this. You did the right thing in telling her and I just think she took it the wrong way and is way to sensitive. Anyway who cares if you have a pimple? It doesn't really seem a big deal to me, but I hope I help!

if she doesnt know for sure if it is scabies tell her to check between her fingers for small blisters that are really itchy, this is where scabies normally starts. if she has tell her to go to her chemist for a bottle of derbac m its the only thing that will clear it up.

please tell everyone: coldcure.com, changed my life.\nwas prone to getting fever blisters for whatever reason. especially with fever and illness. \ncure: I take "nature made" zinc from wallgreens, and use it as an oral rins. this is preventitive and treatment.\n\n1) for first week rinse every day with one tablet.\n(I just put enough water in my mouth to rinse with, and then chew untill disolved, one 60mg tablet. This seems to be the quickest way. There is really no bad taste.)And make sure you rinse untill disolved, and try to rinse over any areas you feel might be infected. \n\n2)Rinse at least once a week thereafter.\n\n3)if you feel that little tingle on your lips, and you think one might be coming on, rinse once about every hour for 5 hours or so, and most importantly, a couple of times before you go to bed.\n\nI can not stress how well this has worked for me.\nI have had one reacurance of a full blown blister,over the past year,\nand that was after I had oral surgery and imediatly got the flu and was unable to rinse and treat.\n\nI have had the stomach flu twice, rinsed during and after my illnes, and did not get one.\nI have felt a couple bumps comming on, and began rinsing immediatly. the next morning they were COMPLETLY gone. It is allmost to good to be true.\n\nsimple and effective. hope this helps.

Boy our son had only 1 big one. We tried the freeze it over the counter stuff ... it too grew like tiny tentacles and so we headed to the dermatologist to freeze off twice before it stopped.\n\nHe told us the acid in the over the counter... probably irritated and started to get infected.  He said eventually the over the counter would work, just take alot longer but my son kept poking it so this was just quicker. He had to do the treatment twice cause he said it probably would come back.  Only charged for the inital visit so it was worth it.

Scabs will take a while to develop on shingles ( they would be like sore, purple-ish, un-poppable zits right now), and the meds (probably acyclovir?) will only help curb an infection already in process, and only if taken in the first 72 hours.  Are you sick at all?  Headache, lethargy, fever?  That's how I feel with a shingles outbreak, but a big lump on neck & head doesn't sound like shingles- they travel in a line along a nerve path.\nContact a pharmacy to see if your anti-biotic & the shingles meds are even compatable.  Finish out the meds if they are, and go back if you don't feel better.  If they aren't compatable, go back immediately & ask for lab tests(if there are any) to determine exactly what it is so you can have the appropriate course of treatment.

It could be a heat rash, or chicken skin (not sure of the actual medical term but you can find it like this online) you might want to take him to a dermotologist.

It could be a number of things, did she have any drug allergies? Did she have a bacterial infection? Did she have a viral infection? Was she allergic to bees and recently stung? It could be a number of things and there is no way to tell for sure with this limited amount of information....I'm sorry.\n\n                    \n I agree with the responder below. However, there is no way to know for sure. GOOD  THINKING!!!!      \n                            |\n                            |\n                            |\n                           &#92;/

Yeah, I think that once your immune system has one thing to deal with, sometimes it can't deal as well with other things that are happening.  That is probably the reason for the cold sore, the zits, and the eczema.  I hope you feel better soon.

I had chicken pox(yes, confirmed by Doc, not shingles) when I was 23. It started out with feeling unwell then turned into pleurisy(inflammation of the lining of the lungs)and I whistled like a tea kettle and could not inhale deeply without doubling over.The next day the spots appeared. My sons were 1 and 4 at the time and I gave it to them. It lasted for weeks and I had to go to the doctors every other day so he could make sure I did not get pneumonia. I had them on my palms, my soles of my feet, even my gums!(couldn't brush because they'd pop and spread.) I laid on the couch sick as a dog for 2 weeks until the baby got them too.He was relentless because every time I would lay down he would come pick my spots.I have 3 scars on my face from him. We laugh about this now that he's 11 but it wasn't fun at the time.

I am sorry to say but Mike is WRONG:\nThere are two types of Herpes,  Herpes simplex type I or II. Either type can infect the mouth or genitals (if you're really unlucky you can have 4 lifelong infections going at the same time: HSV1 and 2 in the upper body, HSV1 and 2 in the lower body. This would be very rare). When your incfected, the virus "hides" in the nervous system between outbreaks. It will protect you from a new infection of the same type, not of another type.\nOnly about 25% of Americans over the age of 12 DO NOT have antibodies against one of the two (standard test for exposure and infection).\nHSV1 is extremely prevalent (very easy to pass on, quite innocently, just by an injudicious kiss to a baby). Most everybody (up to 90% of the population) has antibodies against HSV1 by the time they're 50.\nAbout 20 to 30% of the population has antibodies against HSV2, more women than men (infection is easier for females), but HSV1 is fast becoming a major cause of genital herpes.\nMost people with HSV1 have just "fever blisters". Some have it bad, a terrible rash from the nose down to the chest, inside the mouth, it looks like a case of pox. It can last a few days to over a week. Genital herpes is basically the same on the genitals, blisters and lesions, individually different how bad. \n\nNow about transmission: It mostly happens when you have a blister/blisters going, through direct skin-to-skin contact. Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of the first symptoms (tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over. Also try to prevent self-infection to other areas of your body. Wash your hands with soap and water if you touch a sore. Better yet, don't touch the sores.\nUnfortunately, the virus can sometimes  spread , when no signs or symptoms are present. This is called "Asymptomatic Transmission." Often people don't know they are infected, these people may have symptoms so mild they don't notice them at all or else don't recognize them as herpes. They can also spread it. Still, asymptomatic transmission appears to be far less likely than spreading the virus when lesions are present.

Seriously, I believe I would take him to the doctor.  When I worked at dermatologist there was a lady that came in with big clear fluid filled blisters and they were some kind of bacterial infection and she had to take oral antibiotics.  If nothing else a doctor could probably give you a note to let him in school with socks only until it heels.  I really hope that he feels better.  Good Luck.
