I was just wondering if anyone else knows much about, or has, this condition..the info on the net has scary stuff like leukaemia as a possibility with this condition..the doc said don't worry about that, but its hard not to!!
I'll explain:
Owen developed a small mark near his ear(under his sideburn) at about 6 weeks old, after about a week it appeared to be developing into a mole.As MIL has a mole in the same spot we thought nothing of it. However, at around 4 months the mole(which had not changed in all that time)blistered. We took owen straight to the medical centre, as we couldn't get into our GP for a week. The doc there said he had no idea what it was. The blister burst while we were there and clear fluid came out.Doc said 'if it's still there in a week then come back'..it had been there for months, of course it was still going to be there in a week!!So we went to our GP the following week. She thought it may have been impetigo(as the blister crust was still there) and prescribed antibiotics..two weeks later the crust was gone and the mole was back to 'normal'(looked like a mole again)..we went back to the docs and she sent us to a dermatologist..he rubbed it a couple of times and it flared up all red, swollen and angry looking. From this he determined that owen had mastocytosis. This was described to us as a collection of allergy cells under the skin. We were told that this spot will grow as he grows and should be gone by the time he's 5. It won't cause any food allergies ar anything like that. We were then told not to look it up on the net as we would be scared..well we did, and we are!!

Owen is such a happy healthy little boy and i can't bare the thought of anything happening to him. I have been stewing on this for ages and don't really have anyone to talk to about it..am so terrified..
does anyone have any info or experience with this condition??

Thanks
