Anyone know what this rash is???

Does anyone know what this rash is?? Its been causing my son grief for 3-4 days. Ive given him benadryl and cordizone cream constantly but it keeps coming back. He says they hurt and itch like crazy, any ideas??




If youre offended by 4 y/o butt pics dont look








He keeps asking me "mama make it go away...please" its breaking my heart  

Dear god  
If what your giving him doesn't work, take him to the doctor/ER. That smurf looks SCARY.

chicken pox?

Ouch. I'd take him to the doctors. That looks so sore. I'd say either an allergic reaction, or bites of some sort.

Really ER worthy??  

It looks like bug bites! Do you possibly have a way mosquitos are getting into your house- maybe they're caught in his sheets/clothes. or possibly even bed bugs?
Has he had the chicken pox yet/did he get the vaccine? Not sure what those look like for sure, but if they itch/hurt it could be that too?
I would contact your pediatrician if you haven't yet, they'd have a better idea, and hopefully a way to provide some relief!

I think it might be chicken pox or maybe hives but i would take him to the DR ASAP bc that looks itchy and sore. Poor lil guy....=( i hope he feels better.....

He says they are owies so yah I guess they are a bit sore. I called his dr but he said what Im doing should help it.

Quoting Juggernog-aholic:" chicken pox?"

Thats what I thought but all the pics of it look totally different from what he has.

I honestly cannot tell but I would definitely go to the ER or your pedi's weekend walk in clinic. Especially if benadryl hasn't helped after 24 hours!!

It loos like it could be chicken pox but other pics look like hives..

If you have baking soda run a warm bath and add that in and in a bowl make a paste and apply that to the rash it should help relieve the itching for a little bit.

my one year had a similar rash its was called hand foot and mouth disease its was contagious, The rash covered her body, she itched and said they hurt it started on her body and eventually went to her mouth it took about a month to clear up they told me to give her oatmeal bath and not to use the normal body or hair soap we used or lotion.

I don't think it's chicken pox because the bumps look wrong for that. From what I can tell at least

Quoting It's Ashleyyyy!:" I honestly cannot tell but I would definitely go to the ER or your pedi's weekend walk in clinic. Especially if benadryl hasn't helped after 24 hours!!"

I was told it can take benadryl 72+ hours to really work. Was I told wrong O.O
