Calling all doctor mommy's! In all my 10+ years of mommying, I haven't seen this type of rash yet. My policy with them so far is to try benedryl and if they don't get better in a week to call the dr. But this one looks funny so I'm asking for advice, please.
DS2 had an irregular red blotchy spot on his tummy that has spread all over his torso, a little on his back, a few on his face, arms, and legs. The original spot has gotten much bigger (bigger than my hand) and the inside has gone back to a fleshy color while the outside is lined in pink. Benedryl has no effect. Anyone else's kiddo had something like this? We've had tons of hives, pimples, and spots before, but nothing splotchy like this.
