Other things to rule out are bullous impetigo and rocky mountain spotted fever, but coxsackie is highest on my differential. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935240 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:22:18 +0000 keiki_mama 935240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Actually, I'm not sure if they itch him anymore. We only saw him scratch it on Saturday briefly. He hasn't scratched it since then (that we know of). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935234 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:19:50 +0000 MamaG 935234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HFM was going to be my guess as well. The dr told us it shouldn't itch though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935203 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:13:13 +0000 loveisstrange 935203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Not really. We just had to wait it out. :( It was only bad the first couple days and then it didnt seem to bother her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935200 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:12:48 +0000 keiki_mama 935200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Was there any ointment you used on C? Anything to make her feel better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935196 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:11:59 +0000 keiki_mama 935196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yes, they are on his palms and soles--we don't see them in his mouth. They are itchy. He had a fever on Friday and these didn't crop up until Sunday. They are no warmer than his regular skin.</p> <p>@MrsRcCar: Thanks! I will look that up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935190 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:09:52 +0000 loveisstrange 935190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be Hand, Foot and Mouth. That looks like what C's did a few weeks ago when she had it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935178 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:08:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 935178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know they said not chicken pox but maybe fifths disease. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935160 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:02:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 935160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they on palms and soles and is there anything in the mouth? Are they itchy? Is there a fever? And did they come up in crops? Are they warm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/viral-bumps-what-is-this-pix-not-for-the-faint-of-heart#post-935152 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:00:08 +0000 keiki_mama 935152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took LO to the doctor's on Saturday to get him checked out because his skin texture turned bumpy--the doctor ruled out chickenpox and said it was something viral that he picked up that would go away in a week or so. Obviously the week is not over but it looks so much worse than when we saw the doctor. They're itchy little suckers, we've had to keep LO is long sleeve shirts and pants to prevent him from scratching them.</p> <p>What is this? Has your LO experienced something like this? Any remedies on making him feel less itchy? I feel so bad for this little guy. :sad:</p> <p>ETA: they're concentrated on his arms and legs--torso and face not so much. Should I call the doctor and have her take a look again?</p> <p>[attach=127/13/mq1b0a.450x600.photo1.jpg] </p>
