Ours was all trunk and back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670592 Sat, 31 May 2014 15:08:37 +0000 lamariniere 1670592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: thanks. At this point I'm inclined to just wait it out unless any other symptoms develop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670584 Sat, 31 May 2014 15:01:44 +0000 Ra 1670584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: If it is roseola you can just let it run it's course. The rash comes at the tail end of the virus. The doc said that most rashes that don't itch/irritate are viral, so there isn't much that can be done anyway. I was just told to avoid pregnant women because it can potentially cause them to miscarry if they catch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670581 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:59:15 +0000 lamariniere 1670581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: good to know. It kind of looks a bit like that, only it isn't on his face yet. I probably found the scary ones on the google image search. :wink: At what point did you see the doctor? We would either have to go to the ER tomorrow or wait until Monday to see the ped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670577 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:56:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1670577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: awe! Baby boy! I can't handle the sad faces :crying: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670557 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:43:03 +0000 Ra 1670557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never took a picture of his body, but you can kind of tell what his face looked like in these pictures. </p> [attach=2606/14/n6gers.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2606/14/n6gerv.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2606/14/n6gerx.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670551 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:40:12 +0000 Ra 1670551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: B's weren't blistery at all. He was covered in small, red bumps. If you looked at him from a distance you wouldn't have been able to tell he had a rash. It looked very similar to heat rash. The doc said some kids don't get any other symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670546 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:35:16 +0000 lamariniere 1670546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I'm definitely going to take pics tomorrow. Yuck! I just looked up measles and luckily it doesn't look like that. </p> <p>@rahlyrah: ugh, looked up that one too. The ones I saw all looked more blistery, but DS's doesn't look like that. He hasn't had any fever at all either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670536 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:25:58 +0000 Ra 1670536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be roseola? B just got over it. The rash itself isn't bothersome. His was mostly on his trunk, back, and groin. He also had some on his face. Usually there is a fever for a few days prior though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670533 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:21:49 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1670533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a rash two weeks ago...it went away after 4 or so days...never caused discomfort and was either white or red small bumps. I never noticed a fever. </p> <p>My ped said to email a picture next time, but I know most rashes are viral and clear on their own. I would have taken him I'm with a prolonged fever or if it got worse not better after the first 2-3 days. I also looked up rashes and could tell it didn't look like measles, etcetera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670532 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:20:54 +0000 lamariniere 1670532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: that's what it kind of looks like, but I don't think it's heat rash. It hasn't been very warm out the last few days. Also, he's 3, so no diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670528 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:16:30 +0000 pl0508 1670528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be a heat rash ? My LO always gets them in his diaper area </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-be-concerned-about-a-rash#post-1670522 Sat, 31 May 2014 14:12:30 +0000 lamariniere 1670522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has had a very light rash on his back and abdomen for the last 3 days, but today it has spread to the top of his bottom and his groin area. He's not itchy and seems completely fine. I can't think of anything that could have caused it, no new clothes, new soap/detergent, new foods (although he has eaten a ton of raspberries in the last few days), and it hasn't been hot (so not heat rash). We are monitoring it for now. When should I be concerned? I don't have any pics because he already went to bed. </p>
