I think we need to careful with hearsay diagnoses.
Blanching and viral illness isn't necessarily true for starters.
Has you little one had chicken pox? Seeing that shingles follows are primary chicken pox episode usually.
Maybe some calamine lotion to soothe the site and a av oil bath with tepid water might be soothing. Definately a trip to a different doc if you aren't happy before using any other professionals.
Thanks all for the replies.... turns out it is impetigo!!
We have some AB's and we have to go back and see them again tomorrow!!!
oh that was one of the things I said, can't believe the first doctor didn't pick up on it and just sent you home. Hope she get better soon cos i've seen impetigo really bad and it's not very nice!
have added a new pic in the first post :)
Awww poor bubba, that looks really painful :(
Glad you have a diagnosis, hope the AB's kick in quickly for you both!!
xxoo
Ouch! Poor bubba!
Its nothing like the impetigo the girls had when Jesse was born.
Hope it doesn't spread through the family & that its all over really soon. Be careful of any sores or anything the rest of you have. Just the slightest scratch can pick it up quickly.
... so wrapt RR for that you got a proper diagnose :D
Please give beautiful Bella a little kiss to make her feel better from me :comfort:
