Help me please...?

Question

my 17 month old son has what looks like a rash pretty much all over his body at first i thought it was eczema b/c they are dry red spots but now it seams to be worse and catch him scratching at it....ive noticed its all over his back now and it never really used to be, ive started using laundry soap for sensitive skin but it still doesn't look any better is there anything else i can do that might help?

Answer 1

Take him to the doctor, that can't be comfortable.

Answer 2

I would take him in to the doctor.  It's probably pretty uncomfrotable for him, poor guy.

Answer 3

Taking him to the docs would be the best thing.  I don't know how the weather has been where you are, but maybe its a heat rash or something simple like that.  Good luck to you.

Answer 4

Give him childs benedril and if it works, you know its a bad reaction.  Certain foods?  Dryer sheets?  Poison ivy?  Pets? Did you wash his bedding in the sensitive stuff???  AND all of his clothes?

Answer 5

Geeze....take the poor thing to the doctor for gods sake

Answer 6

It may be mealels or an allergic reaction to something new, I would take him in to be sure!

Answer 7

I thought my daughter had eczema.. so we took her to a dermatologist and it turned out to be psoriasis. Pretty much the same symptoms as eczema. Dry flaking red spots on skin.. then when it goes away it leaves white spots. She would always scratch. Best thing to do is take him to his pediatrician and see what they say and then have them refer you to a dermatologist.

Answer 8

yeh id say tke him to the doctors just to be safe but it could be a heat rash and the more he scratches the more worse it comes.. so maybe take him to the doctors and they probs just give you some cream for him :)
