This just showed up on my daughter's face this morning. It's slowly been getting more red and raised. She says it hurts. I'm weary of putting any cream on her face, especially do close to her mouth.
Has anyone seen something like this?
-
Have you given her any benedryl?
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: not yet - waiting until tonight because I didn't want to screw up her sleep
-
@BabyBoecksMom: yea that doesn't look good.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: looks like it hurts! I would try some benedryl and see if it helps at all. Do you recall her being around any allergens? Plants, animals, new food?
-
@T.H.O.U.: yeah, I'm definitely worried but I can't figure out if I should do urgent care or wait for her pediatrician on Monday.
@yellowbird: I just gave her benedryl and put her to bed. The problem (and good thing?) is, she is tough. I never really know when something bothers her until I look at it and ask her about it. She has anxiety and chews her nails constantly. I caught her chewing her toenails (gag!) today, do I'm hoping she didn't pick up some weird fungus or something.
-
That looks more fungus-like than allergy. Like a ring worm or impetigo (not saying it's either, just what it looks like).
-
would scare the shit out of me. hope she is seen soon!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: How's she doing today? Hope she is okay!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: hoping she is better!!!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: hope your LO is feeling better today.
-
@Pancakes: @yellowbird: @MrsRcCar: Thanks for checking in - I thought I updated this from my phone but I guess it didn't actually submit it.
I gave her benedryl that night and by the morning, it was SO much better. DH remembered that earlier that day, she was using chalk as "makeup" and we're assuming it was a reaction to that. Whew!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: Oh good! Glad to hear she's doing well.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: glad to here she is feeling better.
