You should ask his doctor .... it could be different skin pigmentation . I had a friend in high school that had these spots, on her arms & hands, back and legs.

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

you need to take the child to the doctor ...this is a possible sign of infection.....are there any bite marks (like a spider bite) at one end or the other...usually these will start at the point of injury and lead towards the heart

bacteria.  Could be a yeast infection or other bacteria.  Could be a chemical imbalance.  Could be nothing.  See your pediatrician.

Please, don't put your child's health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your child's mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

My little boy went through this about a year ago so I feel your pain! I bought a treatment over the internet called Zymaderm from www.cbrmed.org. It's an all natural treatment made from tea tree oil,iodine and something else(I'm at a loss at the moment) It took a week or so to get the oil, but it worked wonders on my son! I put it on him once a day. Usually right before bed. After only 2 weeks, all of his bumps were gone! He had around 100 of these things on his chest. If I remember right, I paid around 38 bucks for the oil, but I promise you it's worth every penny. It will stop the spread of the bumps and it's much less painful than having them removed by the doctor. He's only got a couple of scars from the bumps, they were caused not by the oil but by the ones that were removed by the dermatologist. Trust me, from one mommy to another, try the Zymaderm. On the website, you can chat with someone and they'll answer all your questions. It was the best 38 bucks I've ever spent. My son is bump free now and there's no sign of them coming back. Please email me if you need any help. I know what your going through and how frustrating it is.

You'll need to be more specific about what the bumps look like and where they are.  One very common skin problem is keratosis pilaris (KP), which causes red patches of bumpy skin.  I have it on my arms and thighs, which are common places to have it.  KP affects over 50% of people and is harmless, although it doesn't look very nice.  Often it shows up in children and some people do outgrow it, but many do not and there's no known cure for it.  If that's what your baby has, then it's completely harmless.  A doctor should be able to tell you if that's what it is.

Liver spots are brown-black pigmentation that occur in those areas that are exposed to the sun like the back of the hands, forearms, shoulders, face and forehead. They occur because the skin produces extra melanin to protect itself from sun exposure. Generally people over 40 years get them. Liver spots are permanent but not medically dangerous, although sometimes they may mask skin cancer.

Hi, he might be hyper-sensitive to a lot of things that enter his stomach, have you tried feeding him shredded wheat in the morning? It is natural, he will like it and the stools should firm up, if you do not feel like your sons doc. was the right guy for him, go to another pediatrician, get a full set of labs done on him, if the problem is in his body, it will most likely show up in his blood work.\nDo a complete panel would be my advise.\nGood luck, God Bless and happy Thanksgiving

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.

You may need to brush your toddler's teeth more frequently. However, the discolorization may be due to a dead nerve in the tooth if your child has fallen and bumped his/her tooth. THis usually causes the tooth to appear blue.

sounds like a spider to me I'd call the doctor first and he can tell you like if it is severe enough to go to the doc. If it was like a brown recluse then she will definately need to go. My husbands little cousin had the same thing happen to her and they had to cut out the infection. So just keep an eye on it and I'm sure your little one will be fine.\n\nAnd you are not a bad mother, it really makes me mad when people say stuff like that on here. If you were a bad mother you wouldn't be asking anyone, so you just keep doing what you are doing honey and forgot all those other people who are acting like kids on here.

Take her to your Doctor, as she is a little to young for teenage stuff.  Or it may be where she is active and sweats a bit causing spots.  simple soap and water, her skin is too young for anything unless prescribed.

Take her to the pediatrician ASAP. This could indicate a serious endochrine problem.

Bathe him with soap and water often, esp. after he urinates or deficates. Keep his diaper off to air dry after his bath, and for as long as possible. The air will help. Use a diaper rash cream with zinc in it, in the morning and at night. If this doesn't clear it up, then bring him to see a Dr. it could be a very contageous skin condition that needs a medicated treatment. Use gloves to apply the zinc cream to protect yourself, just in case.
