My child has been going back and forth to doctors for a skin discoloration and red itchy patches all over the face to his neck now for quite sometime. For awhile everything had went away excpet for the while botchy spots all over his face (he is a meduim skin color so the patches are very noticable). Yesterday he now has hive loking rash all over his face and neck along with itchyness. Any suggestions. We feel like we are not gwtting anywhere with kaiser.
Hi, Kaiser seems to be having a skin condition called urticaria, and an allergic state. These lesions when they heal do leave a light colored marks. This is what you should do. If I had known his age, it would have been easier--anyway, first to make the child comfortable, one has to stop the itching, which a simple antihistamines like evil may help. Next make a list of thinks he had taken for the day --fruits or nuts. Third check out all his garments including the bed clothes for any small insects that may have bitten him. Take him to a pediatric dermatologist who will be able to give you the correct cause and appropriate local treatment and medications and suggest preventive measures.
