Need input (aka- HELP) fast!  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
My ds, who was partially vaxed (until we learned better) has some weird, odd-shaped blisters on his stomach and legs. Only about 10 of them, but still has them nonetheless. They range from very small to about the size of the head of a pushpin that you'd use for sewing. Ideas? He's had a cold for the last couple days- first time he's been remotely sick in well over a year- so I expressed breastmilk and the cold is practically gone. But these blisters are weird! My dd is almost 4 months old and had ittiy bitty, tiny bumps all over her legs yesterday but they're gone today. She also had a diaper rash, which is too gone, so I think the bumps on her legs were part of that rash- and entirely different from what my ds is experiencing. Any input would help- thanks!

I would recommend immune boosting and treating the rash with a salve or herbal powder if needed.Oatmeal bath if itchy. Take photos.The rash will disappear long before you probably figure out what caused it.Do a google on diseases that cause rashes to see photos to compare too.
Look over in http://www.healthy.net in the kids section for treatments and herbals.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking skin allergies to detergents , pollen , pet dander and chemicals. I agree with the previous poster , immune builders and herbal powders/remedies.

could it be eczema? i'm guessing allergies/sensitivities to something too.

Could be all sort of things, but I would not worry. Of course that's my philosophy. Express some bm and put it on the blisters and let it dry. Do it several times a day. Works great for diaper rash and just about anything else (except athlete's foot!) :LOL

We see a little rash or some blisters on our kids and we worry. Gosh how often did I have a rash, cough, or whatever. My mom's answer to everything including dog bit, large cut, stubbed toe, on and on - was always: YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE.

And believe it or not, those were the most reassuring words to hear.

This sounds just like how my case of chicken pox started. I was 20 years old at the time. Tiny little blisters at first. I thought I had flea bites.

Please let us know what happens.
