I would check the dog and then wash everything. I house sat qt a house that had fleas and I had horrible bites that looked like this. They were right along where my clothes were and where I laid on things. I hope you figure it out soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696110 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:54:21 +0000 NovBaby1112 696110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: they just gave the cat flea meds as well and they all eventually died. She did wash all of my nieces bedding, curtains, pillows, etc, but mostly just to be on the safe side. As far as what she used on the bites, I believe it was an ointment like aquaphor, but I imagine neosporin would do the same thing, and help them clear up faster. I would inspect your dog just to be sure though, no sense in going to all this trouble if he doesn't even have them lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696100 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:44:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 696100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: we do have a chihuahua who is actually overdue for his flea meds! I'm going to put it on him and stick him outside for a while so they can jump off of him if he has them. If that IS it- what else can I do? Do I need to wash everything in the house or will putting flea meds on the dog solve the prob? And I put aquaphor on them starting today, but do you know what she used? Can I use neosporin? We've used meosporin on her finger before and she was fine with it...</p> <p>@MamaMoose: Well she actually doesnt have her shots until 4/17. I cannot remember why our 2 mos shots ended up being late and then they said it has to be a full 2 mos before she can get the next ones... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696075 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:34:13 +0000 MamaMoose 696075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I'm guessing based on her age that she would have had her four month shots very recently? That could account for the low grade fever you saw and the fussiness combined with sleepiness. I agree with chopsuey that they look like bug bites to me. Try some aquaphor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696071 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:32:22 +0000 NovBaby1112 696071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I don't want to freak you out, bc it might not be this AT ALL, but my neice developed similar red bumps awhile ago, and they found out their cat got fleas and for some reason they only bit my neice, not anyone else in the house. I don't know if u have any pets, but if so it might be worth looking into?again, don't want to freak you out, just trying to think of possibilities! It could very well just be a rash, I'm sure Mrs. Jacks will know more than the rest of us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696065 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:29:03 +0000 lemondrop 696065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Not a mom fail at all, you are doing a great job! Fevers and rashes happen, sometimes you figure it out, sometimes you don't. It's not like she can talk right now, you have to go by the signs she gives you and it sounds like she's a pretty tough little punkin! Hang in there Mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696047 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:22:56 +0000 PrincessBaby 696047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Thank you! I just dont know if she had a fever &amp; it's such a mom fail that I never thought to check! She was a little fussy on Wed, and took a 2.5 hour nap in her carseat (she's a 30 min napper and usually wakes up as soon as I bring the carseat inside). Thurs the nanny kept her and said she was really fussy. But she was FINE and happy for me! I just wish I knew if she had a fever when she was fussy and that would explain it! It's driving me bananas that I dont know!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: I kind of wonder that! Esp bc all of the spots are outside where her pajamas cover. She always sleeps in sleep and plays with long slvs and when I found the spot on her wrist it occurred to me that all of the spots are at the edges of where her PJs cover. Then I looked up bed bugs and horrified myself! Fortunately it looks like bed bug bites are big welps on the bites and they tend to have big clusters. I changed her crib sheet anyway=). But I dont know what random bug could have gotten her! The thought totally grosses me out- some f'ing bug snacking on my daughter while she is sleeping!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696017 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:07:56 +0000 chopsuey 696017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Hurmm.. do you think they might be bug bites?<br /> I've never seen anything like it! :T Hope it clears up soon though. And glad to hear she's her adorable happy self. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-696001 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:51:36 +0000 lemondrop 696001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh honey, big hugs- I know it's so upsetting when your perfect baby gets spots! In our situation, our ped had told us on several occasions to expect a rash after a fever from some random baby virus, but when it actually happens it is still so distressing! Hoping H has a speedy recovery, for us it looked far worse than it really was and C was perfectly happy despite the spots! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-695952 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:28:28 +0000 PrincessBaby 695952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and if anyone else has any advice, I would love your opinions as well!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-695943 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:24:59 +0000 PrincessBaby 695943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I am shamelessly soliciting medical advice here...Or at least trying to figure out if I should go back to the Ped today bc they are open on Sat. H has the same spots as yesterday but they are a lot darker today. I did notice one more on her wrist last night and one more small one on her head. Ped told me yesterday that she may get more, so not to freak out, but to watch her temp and be on lookout for any type of sickness. Her temp is fine, 98.0 this morning, and she is her normal squealy squirmy busy happy self. BUT, I'm used to baby acne spots that show up looking their worst and then they only get better. These bumps look way darker today! Should I bring her in so he can see the difference? It's a lot of work to get in and out of the Ped just for him to tell me he doesn't know what it is and to just keep watching it! I am so grateful for any advice you might have as to whether or not I should bring her back!</p> <p>Here is today's pic...As H is watching Millionaire Matchmaker (Mom Fail!)....She still has the two in the front too: </p> [attach=1247/13/mku81o.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=1247/13/mku81q.600x448.image.jpg] [attach=1247/13/mku81s.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-694261 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:29:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 694261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Just when you think they're gonna *zig* they totally *zag* on you!

I am going to just keep checking her temp at diaper changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693626 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:47:39 +0000 MsLipGloss 693626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: If they return to skin-ish color, that is usually a good sign. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693624 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:46:59 +0000 wheres_c 693624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: perhaps an allergy to something you ate?

I really appreciate it!<br /> @MsLipGloss: They get lighter if I pull at the skin around t.hem but not white... What does that mean?</p> <p>Thanks everyone for helping me to worry less:) mWe have an 11:15 appt with the Ped so,we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693573 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:32:55 +0000 prettylizy 693573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: I know right!!</p> <p>E gets random red spots on occasion too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693556 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:29:02 +0000 twodoghouse 693556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, poor little H.

Keep an eye on the temperature.</p> <p>My son had a rash like this, but it was after a very high fever for a day (so I'm not going to freak you out with what he had)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693458 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:50:03 +0000 MamaBehr 693458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter, who is three, still gets weird red spots like that. I would go into the doc just to make sure it isn't anything (I don't know much about chicken pox). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693457 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:49:59 +0000 NovBaby1112 693457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm....i dont think they are chick pox, but i would take her to the pedi just to be safe. if my LO woke up with bumps, my first thought would be did something maybe bite her in her sleep or did she have a reaction to some type of lotion/outfit and it caused a little rash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693453 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:49:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 693453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken pox are clear vesicles on a red base. They come in crops and are associated with fever. I can't determine anything from your pictures, but ePidemiologically the risk is low unless she"s had a known exposure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693446 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:44:47 +0000 PrincessBaby 693446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: No, just the ones pictured...But they all look the same and are not bumps. She's never had this before:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spots#post-693442 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:43:32 +0000 mediagirl 693442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo gets random spots, too.
