My toddler has a huge blister...?

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.

I would take him back to the doctor.  I would think he needs to be re-evaluated.  Tell the doctor that you suspect it could be a yeast infection because he is itching.  Children can get yeast infections.  If it is, maybe they could prescribe some Nystatin. Also~ Don't forget to give him probiotics if it is yeast.  (Found at your local health food store)

I can tell you are already worried. Yes get him to a doctor. Babies are pretty resilient, but you don't want to mess around with this. He could have a blood clot or something if he ruptured any blood vessels when he fell. Better to be safe than sorry later. Nobody will fault you for taking him to the doctor, and little ones that age fall over often when trying to crawl or sit-up. Don't worry that anyone will think you were beating your baby. Just get him to a doctor.

I have this sometimes and it was diagnosed as Dishydrosis. It is usually an inherited condition and can pop up during times of high stress or when you are run-down. I usually use some polysporin on the blisters once they pop to keep the area moisturized and germ-free.

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.

are you sure a sweat gland is swollen or is it a lymph node?.....best to be checked out...but not by a dermatologist....she should see her pediatrician first....but if she uses sick deodorant that could be the culprit....roll on is better....doesn't clog poors as bad.....good luck.....

It could be anything from a buildup of something in her system and a reaction to that to an allergy on the outside of her skin from something outside.  It's best when dealing with children and painful eruptions to just take them to the emergency room and get a professionals advice.

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.)

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

Run cold water over it until it stops burning.\n\nDo not put anything greasy on it (vaseline, neosporin, butter, etc.) because it will suffocate the burn and may make it worse.\n\nLeave it uncovered, and if a blister forms, do NOT pop it.  The blister is there to protect the damaged skin.\n\nIf it is larger than a quarter, seek professional medical help.

Sorry to say, not really. This is one of the most common viral infections kids pass around, increasingly so over the past several decades as more and younger kids have gone into daycare with less prepared immune systems. But it isn't really harmful, has no long term side effects and runs its course in 6-9 months. Just wash your hands, make sure he washes his, which is always good practice anyway, as you know.  Keep the sheets clean weekly, probably no overnights with non - infected friends.\nCheck with your doctor to be sure what I am saying is correct, and don't be too upset over it all.\n\nI just did a rapid google check and came up with a lot of sites purporting to have miracle cures for molluscum contagiosum. I would be very careful before investing in or using any such remedy. That is why I won't list any of the sites I came across here b/c I don't want to seem as if I am somehow endorsing them. I will tell you that my son had this also when he was four and I took him to the dermatologist who put freezing drops on each wart and froze them off. I had to bring him in every week for about a month til we got them all and this was over 15 years ago. I am glad that I was using a licensed dermatologist though, you know why?????\n\nBecause at the very end of his treatment, my son and two year old daughter came down with chicken pox which initially looked exactly like the molluscum to me and if I had been treating them MYSELF, being a DR. MOM, I would have put something for warts on a chicken pock and maybe really scarred them for life. Of course the real doctor recognized immediately what was wrong.\n\nGo see a skin doctor. That would be best.

Our pediatrician suggested Crisco. It works! Helps w/ rashes, too. I was pleasantly surprised.

Do you think it might be important to know where they are on your son?  How old your son is?  How they showed up?  Any other details about these bumps or any symptoms associated?  I left my crystal ball in my other sport coat.  Give details and I'll edit my answer later or tomorrow.\n\nIf there are many surface, possibly coalescing, "pus bumps" with a reddened base...this sounds like a contact dermatitis, like poison ivy or poison oak, but sometimes people can have strong reactions to other chemical agents etc...you didn't mention that there was itching, though.  You should use Domeboro solution - it is available at your local drug store.\n\nIf the pus bumps are associated with a hair follicle then this sounds like a folliculitis.  Essentially it is an infection of the hair shaft.  Oral or topical antibiotics are useful.  It is from the bacteria that is normally found on the skin.\n\nAlright that's the best I can guess given the information.  If it doesn't sound right, of course taking him into his pediatrician is a very good idea.  Good luck.

cold water for minor burns followed by any burn oinment.\n\nyou don't say how big and if it's blistered or not. If it's badly blistered or the skin has come off, go to the doctor now.

It sounds like a virus that seems to go away,but instead lays dormant for a few days. There's not much that can be done for this except plenty of bed rest and fluids. During the times that she's not feeling unwell,make sure she's still taking it easy so as not to weaken her immune system.\n\nJust saw your daughter's age-I'd get her straight to the doctor's,there is a real danger of her becoming dehydrated. Does she also have a high temperature? Keep a check on this and sponge her down from time to time with cool water. She may also have a food intolerance,such as dairy-so tell the doctor you want her checked for this. Don't ask-TELL. You know your daughter better than anybody.

the best way to keep it from scarring would have been to keep the skin on it if it was a blister....and you should just use cool water, not ice. Ice causes more damage to the skin...it doesn't help it heal because it causes too much constriction of the blood vessels... cover it with bandaids or something, use neosporin and mederma....
