Wow, Teirae, you have a good memory!! Yep, we've only been here for about 6ish mths. These things look like bites. DS is sensitive tot he water out here because it's 'hard' water, but that gives him a rash like and excema(sp?) rash behind his knees and in his elbows. DD usually gets the rash from the water at the same time he does too cause she's sensitive too, and she hasn't got the rash now, so I don't think it's the water this time. Plus the bites aren't in his knees or elbows, well there's a few behind one knee, but they're big lumpy red welts, not like the little bumpy rash he usually gets.
Shouldn't be washing powder or anything since I haven't changed anything like that. Haven't changed bath wash or anything either, and I don't wash them with thier wash every day anyway, I usually just let them soak in the bath water, lol! Only wash them when they have been doing some seriously dirty playing.
Kim, would this be covered by housing?? I did wonder. I just thought since we're living here we would be responsible...?
I would take him to the dr and just check it out, it could be something like scabies that he's picked up from somewhere that has got nothing to do with the bed at all? The dr might be able to I.D, the bites based on the pattern.
Also worth checking what's happening under the floorboards, I have heard once of a nasty infestation of some sort of tiny biting licey thing in a classroom, apparently they didn't get it sorted out until after they treated underneath the floors.
I was going to say to leave his mattress out in the sun for a day (might be easier said than done if the weather there is anything like here) just in case there is anything there. It's free and it might help???
