Kevinsmilfx2`s poll Show results | Hide results


Photo-poll poll

I know the pic kinda sucks, but Charlie has a spreading rash of raised bumps that started in the folds of the front of her neck and now it`s across both back shoulders. Any ideas what it could be? It`s not hives (I get those ALL the time)...

Thanks for all the comments! We just got back from the doctor and apparently ALL of Charlie`s top teeth are coming in at once!! ALL of them! I was floored when he showed me each and every little budding tooth. I`m going to have a nice little talk with hubby about the lighting in our home, lol. Doc says the rash is definitely a teething symptom (I had NO freakin clue!) and that a temp of up to 106.1 - yeah, I know! - is considered normal during teething. Also all the normal symptoms like nasal congestion, vomiting/ pooping mucus, fussiness, etc... were in there too. I think that since her fever is so low (it was gone at the doc`s office), the rash is a heat reaction rash. Babies are so weird, lol!!!

when in doubt, call the doc. Rashes have so many indications that only a professional can give you the proper advice.

Kevins, Look at her hands, feet and inside her mouth and see if there are any bumps there if there are then it`s probably foot and mouth. Also, she might be teething and have eczema? IDK, I`m just throwing out some options. Maybe call a doc.

Could be strep like luvbeingamom or just a regular rash. My son broke out with a rash like this a couple of weeks back. We though it was bacterial/strep related because he was also sick but he tested negative so the doc said that it probably was just a reaction to something and to moniter it but should go away. We still haven`t figured out what it was from but I would take baby to the doc just to be safe.

It can be a virus or a bacteria infection like strep. I would def take her to the doc. Good Luck!

I think it is Eczema. Check out the forum page. The colomn on the right is alphabetical and you can read and see about it. The slobber and sweat can cause a rash under the chins and the folds to. You can look at foot and mouth desease (that lasts about a week). Foot and mouth comes with fever and sore throat.

Oh, she also has a fever of 99.7. I have NO clue what is going on here...

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
