    Erythema Multiforme

    I am wondering if anyone else's little kidlets have had this?

    DD has it and I know the Dr said she will be ok but it's freaking me out. The rash looks terrible and she is happy in herself but man it's stressing me out.

    I know there is the minor and major version of this and she appears to have the minor thankfully. I know that major is also "considered"/ can be Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
    Which is in my family.

    I guess I am just after reassurance and your experiences.

    Hi Enchanted, my son had this a couple of times between 7-9 months. The rash was very scary to look at, but our dr knew what it was straight away and reassured me that he would be okay, and he was. I think the condition worried me more than it worried him! This is probably one of those times when searching the 'net isn't particularly helpful. Hopefully you have a good GP that you trust (I love mine - he performed all three c-sections, and is our family GP too). Feel free to ask me any questions you like.
