Rash in 9 month old ( long with tmi sorry)?

my 9 month old son has been itching his self on his penis (sorry tmi) but only in the tub and i know he is itching because it seems to always be red after his bath and we see him doing it. today after his bath i saw little red dots size of a pin prick all over his penis and the skin above his penis. right know we have been putting a cream given to us by his doctor becuase of red spots above his diaper area 4x a day.





i can't call his doctor until monday and im trying to get ahold of the after hours clinc to ask them.





until monday what can i do or should i do for him, can this be the cause of the diapers (luvs)?


or not changing when he is sleeping and napping? we change every 2hr.|||keep using the cream...is it antibiotic cream or possibly anti fungal cream?? might be a slight yeast infection. Or could just be diaper rash...sounds like you are doing things right. :)|||It could be the soap your using when you give him a bath or it could be the diapers. Have you tried changing brands?|||For now every time he has a diaper change wash his privates. Then apply A%26amp;D ointment. It's the best.|||sounds like reaction to diaper - try alo vera plant= warm water may make it itchier- have you changed soap or creams on him - try a cool compress - the red dots could be from reaction to diaper, soap, or wipes etc. they also could be from him itching sensative areas and popping blodd vessels from scratching - i used to get it from latex, adhesive some soaps and some laundry detergents- hypoalergenic is not always hypoalergenic- try milder gentle chemicals|||keep using whatever the doctor gave you. you could try using a clean, wet, warm washcloth when you change his diaper before putting on the cream. it is possible that this is an irritation from soaps, lotions, powders, diapers or even wipes. after you clean him, i would use just some fresh water to rinse off any leftover chemicals before putting the cream and fresh diaper on just in case. it sounds like you are doing everything right - just make sure you follow doctor's orders! good luck!|||I've heard about this before because i worked in a drug store on vermilion that had a pharmacy inside. But if you can't see the doctor until Monday i would go and ask the pharmacy and tell them that your son has red spots on private part and they can help you find the stuff for the infection and the cream that pharmacy gave you is a anti biotic because it has medication in it so that way it will start to work, but when the doctor's office is open call first thing in the morning because you might be able to get in as a emergency because it can get more infected if he keeps itching it.

Rash or eczema?

My 9 month old son has had a small patch of red, peely skin on his cheek since the time he was 4 weeks old, my pedatrician said it is Eczema and has been prescribing creams to him. Some of the creams work, some don't but it always comes back. Any ideas on making it go away for good or what i should do?|||Try Cetaphil lotion, it comes in a tub. It works great and you have to keep applying it over and over. I do it like 2 times an hour and its gone like that. Just keep up with it and it will be gone in no time. Also try to think about what may be the cause, for my son it was the Texas heat so I put him in cotton clothes that were light and it stopped. Maybe if it is cold where you are you could put a scarf of yours around his cheeks while out. Good luck-|||my son had the same it was eczema and he was prescribed Locoid Lipocream and it went away.... it would come back a couple of weeks later then now its gone... they say if it doesnt go away and keeps coming back he'll have it forever|||The one way to be sure of its eczema or not is to look at your family tree. if anyone in the past few generations suffered from asthma or eczema then its likely eczema. Eczema is hereditary and is linked to asthma. Things that make the little rash spot come back is allergen triggers. Like pets and carpets that arent well vaccumed etc which explains why it comes and goes. Just keep applying the creams and watch the diet to see if any specific foods trigger it. Changes in the weather might also trigger it. Just keep it clean and apply the creams, it only worsens once its dried out and is scratched.|||Keep trying the creams. With luck he will grow out it. I did(I was in my teens) and so did my daughter(she was still a toddler). I found that often times emotional stress triggered and caused outbreaks. The link below has information on coping and food allergies. Good Luck and God Bless.

What is this rash?

Whats irritaion or rash because I think I have it.?

4days ago my grandma had just gotin a new lotion. I decided to try it with out my grandma noing. Then I felt something strange in my hands. I washed it off but now every lotion I try or every saop I try burns my hands. My hands are hard and ruff (not soft like always). Whats irritiaion? I think I have it. My grandma has tried the lotion one time, after i tried it on, and it made her skin older. Am I alregic? The lotion was made out of pasion fruit. Hurry!|||Have grandma return the lotion. Then try soaking


your hands in a lukewarm oatmeal bath. ( Not your whole body, just you hands). If that doesn't help then you may need to see a doctor. Sounds like


an allergic reaction to the ingredients in that hand lotion. Some of the ingredients could have burned your skin as well. Grandma should contact the FDA and let them know about the reaction as well as the company that makes the lotion. She


can also contact www.consumeraffairs.com and


file a complaint with them. Good luck.

I have a rash that's purple and it burns. Can you tell me what it is?

Skin Conditions|||My guess is dermatomyositis:








"Dermatomyositis (DM) affects people of any age or sex, but is found is more women than men. DM is thought to be an autoimmune disease, meaning the body's immune system, which normally fights infections and viruses, does not stop fighting once the infection or virus is gone. The immune system then attacks the body's own normal, healthy tissue through inflammation (IN fluh MAY shun), or swelling.





DM is the easiest type of myositis to diagnose because of the skin rash. The DM rash looks patchy, dusky, and reddish or purple. It is found on the eyelids, cheeks, nose, back, upper chest, elbows, knees and knuckles. Click here to see examples of typical skin symptoms. Some people also have hardened bumps under the skin, called calcinosis (kal si NOH sis). The rash is often seen before muscle weakness is felt. The skin rash and weak muscles are caused by inflammation (IN fluh MAY shun), or swelling, in the blood vessels under the skin and in the muscles, also called vasculitis (vas kyoo LIE tis).





Muscle weakness usually happens over a period of days, weeks or months. Patients who have the skin rash but feel no muscle weakness have amyopathic (a mee yo PATH ik) DM, or DM sine (sin AY) myositis. The weakness begins with muscles that are closest to and within the trunk of the body. Neck, hip, back and shoulder muscles are examples. Some DM patients have muscle pain and difficulty swallowing, or dysphagia (dis FAY je yuh)."





from http://www.myositis.org/about_myositis/f...|||Without knowing the who, what where when and why of the rash it is very hard to even guess. Sorry. Go and see your local Dr as soon as you Can

I have this rash?

its not itcy and it doesnt hurt but it is red spots all over the top of my left armpit and between my two thighs . . . its not bumpy and you can't feel it . . . i put on lotion and baby oil after showers and i drink a lot of water but ive been doing that for ages. .. i"m really protective of my skin because i really care for it but im really scared of going to a docter what do you think?





thanx!|||Why not go to the doctor? You shouldn't be scared, the doctor is there to help. Now go see one :)|||Now I know where I got my rash.|||I think that if it doesn't go away or reduce soon you should get it checked out|||sounds like contact dermitis....After you shower you should dry completely lotion and baby oil will only make the issue worse. Since it doesnt itch you dont need to use benadryl.





But you should see a Doctor, that rash is not embarrasing and you can take care of it quickly..





Good luck :)|||GO To THE THE EMERGENCY ROOM !! AND GET HELP

Break out or rash?

last weekend i use a wash in wash out hair dye and along my hair line I have suddenly gotten a really bad spot break out - could this be linked with the hair dye? the spots are quite painful and big.





I normally have really good skin.|||it sounds like it, it sounds like you could be sensitive to one of the ingredients, i know most of us take no notice of it, but it is the reason why they tell you to do a sensitivity test before hand





i wouldn't use that brand again, it sounds like it doesn't agree with you
