Rash help
Permalink  
 


Raymond had a weird rash once before but hasnt had it in a while. Well last nite he got it bad. I had put new pjs that hadnt been washed on him and were 100 % polyester. SO i thought perhaps he has a polyester allergy. I put hydrocortzone on the spots put him in a tshirt only and put him to bed.

this morning the spots I put hydrocortizone on are gone, but he had some different ones on his leg and on his butt.

Hes also had diarreah yesterday and this morning. He had milk,a waffle nuggets yogurt and graham crackers yesterday and ritz.

 do you think its a polyesther thing. IM not sure which pjs he was in last time (they might have been new too, but gymbo clothes dont do this to him and since it was on his butt this morning Im not sure) anyway heres a few pics if you can tell anything.

Tristen gets reactions like that to food allergies.  I might recommend mentioning this to your doctor just to get him checked out.

I would definitely try benadryl. Looks painful. How old is he? How much does he weigh?

i know you said you didn't wash his pjs--but what about blankets, sheets, etc??

that is how connor's hives look when he gets them and we are pretty sure it is a detergent reaction with him. benadryl always helps us.

He had them before he was put to bed that night so I didnt think it was the sheets. Plus weve used the same detergent for months. Im pretty sure its hives now and did give him some benedryl (knocked him out).

Im going to watch him the next time he gets yogurt which is the last thing he ate before these showed up.

ditto here but for Keegan.

Did the Benedryl clear up the rash?

Maybe call his doctor tomorrow. I think it is great you got pictures you can show them and maybe they can direct you better or have an idea of what it could be from.

The benedryl cleared it up I think, or it went away on its own. IM not quite sure.
