It is not a rash, nor child abuse. Just red hive like, red patches.

SEE A PEDIATRICIAN! thast's first of all, also you may want to start keeping a journal of everything worn, eaten and done by him. Include what you washed the clothes in, how the food was prepared, where he goes, anything you can think of....Record also when he gets the hives, then show it to your pediatrician, and this will help them figure out what's wrong faster, b/c each time a reaction occurs it gets worse.

it is not becouse of kissing or any other activity, as per your description it seems to be an autoimmune disorder called alopecia areata (if it is creating patch)

The most likely diagnosis is eczema, which is not allergic in most cases. Heredity plays a role. The dermatologist may prescribe a topical cortisone cream

First, it most definitely is NOT a neurotic action, it is one of the physical urticarias (hives due to a physical cause). While it is a chronic condition, it can eventually go into remission. \n\nI developed and was diagnosed with dermographism approx. 20 years ago. I also have chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than 6 weeks - mine have lasted most of my life), and dermographism is often seen with that. The worst of my dermographism settled down 6-8 years ago, but it has never completely gone away. If I am having a bad day with my other health problems, it tends to be more pronounced. But most days I just get a little red from rubbing/scratching, rather than great big welts. \n\nI was part of the largest online support group for hivers for many years, working with thousands of people who have chronic hives, including many with dermographism. I can tell you that many people do go into remission, I've seen it happen many times, and it doesn't have to take years and years. Some go into remission in a few months, some a few years, although some do suffer for several years.... Urticaria is a very individualized disease, and everyone is different. Unfortunately no one can tell you with any certainty when or if your dermographism will go away. But the odds are in your favor....\n\nI have been on most antihistamines that have been on the market, including Atarax (hydroxyzine) and Allegra. Atarax always works great for me, although leaves me sleepy. Allegra is garbage, does not work at all for me. (Same with Claritin.) I have been on antihistamines every day for 20 years, and often prescribed at doses much higher than used to treat allergies - that's normal protocol for treating chronic hives. I have not suffered any ill effects from being on them, other than dry mouth (Biotene makes a lot of great products to help counter that).\n\nOverall antihistamines are safe for the long term, according to all my doctors and the research I've done, since I too had the same concerns at first. My only concern would be taking any newer antihistamines, since there have been problems in the past with some that eventually had to be pulled from the US market - notably Seldane and Hismanil. I prefer to stick with the older antihistamines for that reason....

That's not normal (unfortuantly), in addition to the possibility that you might have cellulitis (sub-dermal skin infection) you could be looking at a low grade allergic reaction, if which case you should definatly see your doc to make sure!!!  Bee (and related stinging insect) sting allergies can be potentially fatal and you should make sure you don't fall into the catagory of people who need to carry an epi pen.

It sounds like scabies. Scabies is something you can pick up from bedding, clothing, etc. It's not uncommon for children to get it at daycare. If you look closely, you might see what looks like hard, tiny blisters with a dark, pinhead center. It causes horrible itching which I think is worse at night. When untreated, the scabies like to move to the warmer parts of the body, where there are folds--like between the fingers, in the armpits, etc. The treatment, once you get diagnosed, is very simple. You'll just get a lotion or cream to apply. It's usually gone in a couple of days.

It could be an effect of the anesthesia or pain medications that you were given.  If this continues or if you develop a fever or any other strange symptoms like a rash or bruising, please see a doctor immediately!

I suggest you see a Dr. or a Dermatologist. It's impossible to tell without seeing the rash. It could be anything from measles to mosquito bites!

yes, and it sounds like sun poison..Have had it many times..It comes in different versions. Probably best just to keep him in for a few days and try some aloe vera on the bumps.

It sounds like a allergic reaction to a airborne inhalant. Does it occur at the same location? Like at home. Could be anything from dust mites to mold spores. I turn 35 before I had allergies and denied it for two years before going to the doctor and get some singular. The don't even bother me now. Hope you find out as easy as me.

hi! well It all depends on the vaccine that you give her. I think that she got the MMR vaccine or/and varicela vaccine. Because this vaccines are made with "live attenuated viruses" (they are a life but they don´t give the "illness"). Some times the "rash" it is a normal reaction. I agree with the others, if they told you that´s not from the vaccines, you need to talk to your ped and tell him...\n\nReactions to the vaccines are really really rare... Some times you can see a little of fiber, cough and kind of a "cold" in them, and of course the rash.\n\nPlease follow the sites, they have "REAL" and great information.

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...

Three possibilities spring to mind. The most likely one is polymorphous light eruption (PLE). It's the most common cause of a sun-induced rash, and the way you describe it sounds like PLE. Other two possibilities are cholinergic urticaria (hives due to heat) and solar urticaria (hives due to sun). \n\nMost sufferers of PLE are female. The lesions occur several hours to days following sun exposure and subside within a 7-10 days if there is no further exposure. Lesions are small, itchy, and occur only on areas exposed to the sun. My husband has a hereditary form of PLE, and his arms are covered in an itchy, bumpy rash all summer long. Luckily, for some reason PLE often does not affect the face.  Learn more at http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/pmle.htm\n\nCholinergic urticaria is hives caused by a rise in core body temperature. Most new sufferers are young men, but it can strike women as well. Hives are small, itchy, and appear soon after exposure to something which raises temperature - being out in the sun, getting into a hot car, taking a hot shower, strong emotions such as embarrassment or anger, sweating, exercise, etc....\n\nSolar urticaria is very rare and is caused by exposure to certain ultraviolet rays. Hives develop minutes after exposure, and resolve quickly (less than an hour).\n\nI'd stay away from the Kombucha, by the way. I know a few people who developed chronic kidney disease from using that junk. All of them are facing eventual kidney failure and dialysis.
