Question 1

toddler with rashes that comes and goes. is this serious? rashes (red with small white bumps) all over the body (usually on baby's legs) and face that comes and goes, lasting for about 30 minutes or even less. does not seem to bother my 1 year old but i n

Accepted Answer

You : You can see a small fine red rash after a MMR vaccine but the rash you describe has occurred too long after receiving the vaccine.  No need to fear the MMR vaccine.  The rash you describe sounds like hives.  The next time it happens, take a picture of it to show your pediatrician. Phone cameras are great for documenting short lived rashes like this since odds are your child may not have it at the time of the doctor visit.

Question 2

my 1 year old son has a rash all over the body and face, what can i give him?

Accepted Answer

Depends: At 1 year of age, this is very likely to simply be the result of a cold virus, and nothing you really do will help it....Just time.  However for any sign of illness (fever, not eating/drinking, sleeping too much, crying constantly, etc), or if they started any new medications recently, the child needs to be seen asap.

Question 3

fever for three days then rash on face, neck and chest , 1 year old. the rash blanches when pressed and doesn't appear to bother her.?

Accepted Answer

See below: This could be roseola. A common infection in kids to about 2 1/2 years of age. The rash should last about 4 days, then resolve. I would have your child seen.

Question 4

my 1 year old has rash on face and under chin, it's red spotted and itchy under chin. going around to side of ears! should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like eczema: Most likely eczema, one type of atopic dermatitis. Usually Hydrocortisone oitment you can buy over the counter does help. But i would not do it without him or her examined by a doctor and have the diagnosis confirmed, because it is impossible to make a diagnosis of a rash without examination.

Question 5

what can cause a 1 year old child to develop alergies and rashes on its skin from mosquito bites?does any skin cream help?

Accepted Answer

Mosquito bites: That's what mosquito's do - cause those huge local reactions, and in a rare person, even more widespread reactions. If i get a mosquito bite on my leg, it will often swell to the size of a small cup saucer. It's due to histamine release locally. Sometimes cool compresses to the area are helpful, but for such a large reaction, topical anti-itch meds probably won't do much. Could try oral benadryl, (diphenhydramine) .

Question 6

my 1 year-old was diagnosed w chicken pox.its been >1mth now n new rashes r growing.y?shudnt it resolve in 3 wks?can antihistamine b given for itch?

Accepted Answer

I'm concerned.: There are three possibilities.  (1) it's not chicken pox.  (2) it's chicken pox but your child's immune system isn't working correctly due to a congenital immune defect.  (3) it was chicken pox (aka varicella) but there is a secondary infection.  The most severe of these are caused by the same streptococcus ("strep") that causes sore throats.  See your doctor.

Question 7

my 1 year old daughter was walking and fall and buy her head....what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Fall: If you child seems alert and playful, just observe her behavior, if she is tired, let her rest but make sure you can wake her at regular intervals of 30 minutes. If she is vomiting uncontrollably take her to the er. If she is nauseous  observe herand if her condition is deteriorating check in with the er.

Question 8

my 1 year old has a few crusty pusty bumps in his head in diffrent areas ..what is this call and do i do?

Accepted Answer

Seborrhea or impetig: Crusty bumps could be impetigo (bacterial infection) or could be seborrheic dermatitis (cradle cap).  You may want your doctor to take a peek at it to best guide your treatment. One may require topical or oral antibiotics one doesn't.

Question 9

my 1 year old has a white and red patch on her face?

Accepted Answer

Rash:  This rash would need to be visualized with a medical assessment to determine cause for this rash.

Question 10

what are some reasons my 1 year old have bumps on her face and body?

Accepted Answer

Umm, hard to say.: Heat rash. Viral rash. Allergy rash. Infectious rash. Insect bite. Eczema. Contact dermatitis. The best strategy is to determine the source of the rash then address that specifically. This should be an easy question to pose to your pediatrician during an office visit. Without actually viewing the bumps in person, any answer would be but a guess. Your daughter deserves better than a guess.
