View Full Version : Need rash help - tiny red bumps scattered on dd's trunk...

I wasn't concerned about it when it showed up two days ago, because it was itching her and I assumed it was a reaction to kiwi, which she'd had for the second consecutive time the previous night. But it's still there, after two Benadryl doses and a couple of days, so I'm wondering whether it could be something else? They're small red bumps, about the size of a pinhead, and not clustered tightly, but sort of dotting her chest and back in no apparent pattern.

She's had a mild fever most of this time, but she's cutting molars and that's normal for her when she's teething. She's acting fine otherwise, and the itching seems to have subsided quite a bit.

But could this be something serious that I don't know enough to be on the lookout for?

Geez, I'm all over the boards tonight - it's feast or famine with me, LOL!

Thanks,
Jude

Jude,
Aubrey has been having this same kind of thing for a couple of weeks now! SIL and I are both changing the detergents we use for her laundry, her soap and her shampoo. But her doc seems to think it was an odd little symptom of a virus she may have had. Went hand in hand with some icky-wet poopy diapers. She is also teething, but she has been teething more often than not for the past 11 months!

If we come up with anything more, I'll let you know. You too, please?

Absolutely. And I'm with you on the teething...dd has been teething for all but 4 weeks since she was 4 months old. She's 18 months now!

Come to think of it, we did use a product in her bath last week, which we never do. It might have been that. Hmmm.

Thanks!
Jude

Just so you know, Kaya did have a rash at the end of having a slight temperature. The pede said it was just a virus she was fighting off and that the rash was the end of the virus' course. It wasn't Roseola, either.
