Question 1

my 9months old baby are teething....i noticed the past few days his body is covered in red pimples like a reaction to something. he is not feverish or anything so i don't think it's chicken pox or can it be?

Accepted Answer

Teething: Red pimples are not consistent with teething. Please call Pediatrician for examination/evaluation.  Also, Standard of Care is that ALL children have 1st Dental Examination at eruption of 1st baby tooth, but not later than 1st b'day. Strongly recommend that you see a Children's Dental Specialist, a Pedodontist for all the same reasons you see a Children's Medical Specialist, a Pediatrician.

Question 2

i am on trenvir & have been having a skin problem of pimples that look like chicken pox on my face & limbs mostly, how can i treat them.?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor who prescribed the medication you are taking. 
Wish you good health!

Question 3

ilandre has a skin rash looks like chicken pox, little red bumps with little yellow tips some of them, only in one area? not sure what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Shingles?: If it looks like chicken pox but it’s only in one area, it could be shingles.  I’d have the Pediatrician or a Dermatologist take a look, though, as it’s unusual for a young child to get shingles.  Not unheard of, but atypical.

Question 4

i got something on my face that looks like chicken pox but, they are bigger and hurt....they are not pimples and one keeps getting bigger...help!

Accepted Answer

Impetigo: It sounds like you might be dealing with a staph infection.  Do not break the pustules.  See your doctor for evaluation - you may need to have the bigger lesions drained and you may require oral antibiotics.  Until you get in to your doctor, use plain soap and water for cleaning then apply a topical antibiotic ointment to the lesions 4 times per day (neosporin, Bacitracin etc).  Do not pick!

Question 5

would a chemical peel help my rosacea? i am fair-skinned and i have severe rosacea. i am very unhappy with the way my face looks, especially the redness and the pimples. can a chemical peel be used to achieve a better facial skin look for people with rosa

Accepted Answer

I : I agree and typically find chemical peels too harsh for rosacea patients.  Avoiding triggers, preventive treatment with medications, and consideration of a v-beam laser treatment are often beneficial.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Breast redness : Sounds like an infection so please get examined

Question 7

Question 8

my 3yr old has these red slightly raised patches on his skin, they look like thestart of chicken pox, but has been the same for days.has cough, no fever?

Accepted Answer

Hives: Slightly raised red patches may be hives. Treat with benadryl (diphenhydramine).

Question 9

my hostel mates r suffering from chicken pox. i already had it twice 3 yrs ago.i have started having small red skin rashes. not 3rd time pox right?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: It is very unlikely to get chicken pox for a third time.  Sometimes, people think they had chicken pox but actually had some other rash.  In those folks, they actually may not be immune to chicken pox, and may catch it during an outbreak.  If getting a rash, one can check with a doctor to see what it might be.

Question 10

what other infections cause rashes on skin and red bumps in face besides chicken pox. my son is 4?

Accepted Answer

Viruses, mostly.: Viral rashes are common in kids; chicken pox is the most popular, but just about any virus can cause a rash. Other possibilities include allergic reactions to medications or food additives, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and other things. It's impossible to make a precise diagnosis without seeing the rash, so you should consult a dermatologist, especially if your son is running a fever.
