Anyone know what this rash could be? *Update 1st post*

[x-kirsty-x]

We had Ryan at the hospital today and mentioned his rash to the doctor while we were there.

Basically he said it looks like the type of acne that teenagers get but he said there is nothing we can do about it.

Surely there must be something, like a cream they could give us?

Dunno what we're gonna do now

Ryan has had a rash on his face for ages now and everytime I think it's clearing up it comes back just as bad.

He's at the hospital this week (about something else) so I'm gonna ask them what they think.

Just wondering if anyone can advise me as to what it could be?

It's spoiling his gorgeous little face

awww bless him... I'm not sure what it is hun...could it be eczema maybe?

It looks like the kind of rash I get with an allergic reaction.

But it'd be difficult to try and work out what causes it. It could be something he's eaten, something he's drank, something in the washing powder or softener, something in a cream/lotion/bubble bath etc, or even something you/OH/Josh wear that his face comes into contact with, or even something in your carpet or furniture!

You could maybe start with a food diary, and see if that throws up anything!

I'd still get it checked, and hopefully it's something that is easily remedied!

I was thinking excema, Caitlyn has similar on her legs,
You could try some aqueous cream, sudocrem, e45...

It looks like excema to me, I would ask your GP about it.

Looks like ezcema to me.

Does it come and go?

 

[debecca]

Is that really eczema? I have that all over my arms and legs

Poor little thing Let us know what they say about it when you ask.
AND...Where've you been????
Haven't seen you on here for ages and ages. But I haven't been on that much either so I could have just missed your posts. Like your profile pic.

Unless he has a steroid inhaler by any chance? Could be thrush.

Yeah it does come & go. Every time I think it's starting to clear up it just comes back

How long you had the puppy and has these rash started since you've had him...It looks like an allergic reaction and as you mention the puppy...

No he had the rash quite a while before we got the puppy so I've kinda ruled that out.

I just wish I knew what it was so I could help him

Awww What about maybe trying Oilatum or Diprobase??

Fynn had similar when he was tiny... Diprobase was good

You get both prescribed from the GP

 

[1sttimemum]

Ive been told by my HV to get my doc to refer caitlyn to the dermatology nurses, i wonder if they could help you....

Get an appointment with your GP hunny and ask them about it

 

[1sttimemum]
