They sound like they: could be hives, which may be a reaction to something in his environment or something he is eating (if he is on solid foods). Has he been recently weaned from breast milk?

Question 10

i love having scalp and face  massage got worried about hiv . if my masseuse is hiv and has bleeding hands i know he cannot penetrate my skin from scratches  . but do pimple or rashes on face and scalp   provide access to blood stream ? no worries ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely. minimum.: First of all, who doesn't love a good face and scalp massage?  Regardless of HIV status, anyone with bleeding hands ought to attend to the bleeding before touching anyone else.  Make sure your masseuse washes hands before touching you. These are simple hygene.  Also if you have any open wound or skin break, you ought to tend to that, let them heal, and delay massages from strangers.
