I want to add also that I was diagnosed with autoimmune urticaria over 10 years ago. I’ve been in remission for years. One of my biggest worries is that my kids inherit this from me. I don’t know for certain if he has but deep down it’s what I’m thinking about. Is it too soon to test him for antibodies?

the dr now says he thinks this is viral and not contact dermatitis. He has no other symptoms besides this. He says because it started on his face and has now moved to his body that it’s viral. He said to give antihistamine to manage itching.
-
another update: it’s moved on to his body and is quite itchy. It seems to get worse when he’s sweating. Anything I can do to help him besides the cream (hydroxoritsone) and aquaphor. I mean help him not just with symptoms but the root cause of this. It’s very stressful to see him like this. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

update the dr said it was contact dermatis and it should go away on its own, but to apply aquaphor and hydrocortisone as needed. Any feedback on this. He didn’t change anything so I’m not sure what could have caused this.

I will try to take him to a gp soon. We are traveling currently and it is the holidays so I don’t know how fast we’ll be able to get in.
I am in the us and pharmacist are able to diagnose and prescribe things.

I just noticed a few on his neck now. And as I mentioned in earlier post, it has increased on his face. Should I take him to a specialist? If yes, which one? It’s thanksgiving week right now so I won’t be able to see a specialist for a at least 6 days unless I take him to urgent care but not sure how beneficial that’ll be. More pics for reference.

*NOT on his body at all just his face
-
I took him to the pharmacist to get it checked and she said it was hives ( Allergic reaction to something). She prescribed cortisone cream and an antihistamine. He has it on both sides of his face and behind his ears but now on his body at all. Only his face ( both sides). He does complain of some itchiness but it doesn’t seem overwhelming at this point but it looks awful and on day 3 it seems the hives have increased on his face. Otherwise he’s happy. He doesn’t seem ill or upset. He’s acting normal.

thank you

Update: my daughter’s fever broke after 4-5 days. I took her to ped and he said it was a viral infection ( adeno something). He gave her an oral steroid ( 36 hours apart) to help with her congestion ( she wasn’t able to sleep from her blocked nose).
She’s since recovered but I’m noticing that she’s still tired a lot ( doesn’t have energy like before). She’s falling asleep midday and sleeping in late. Also she’s more cold than usual. Always saying she’s cold. I’m getting very concerned. I don’t know if I should take her in or maybe her body is still recovering.

trust me I’ve tried that. They’ll still sneak it to her or will give in if she asks. They say she just a child and feel bad for her. Same thing with sugar.
-
I will try my best! It’s really hard when she goes to her grandparents or if there’s a kids bday. The homeopath I used to see in dubai said it’s not good to be so strict with her cuz psychologically it can impact her more. So I’ve stuck with 100 percent dairy free at home but more lenient on the weekend when we are out and there’s a celebration etc…
-
not 100 percent. But mostly yes

her fever is still there. But it’s better. She’s still complaining of a headache and at night she was super congested so couldn’t breath at all. Doesn’t help she’s already a mouth breather due to her enlarged adenoids so it was absolutely miserable for her and she couldn’t sleep. I’m going to take her to Ped today so he can give her a steroid to help reduce adenoids so she can breathe better. It’s a temporary solution as I don’t like steroids. Need to figure out how to reduce her adenoids without surgery
