Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive August 2007: Speaking of chicken pox...
are these them i can't remember from when nick had them...
these are on his legs he has bumps on his back but they are not red like this...we don't have any pets so they can't be flea bites...we do have ants that come in i'm wondering if that can be it? Thanks Brandy and ps i'm going to call the doctor in awhile
oh yeah and only one more week until school and hopefully he will be over them or whatever it is by then = )
Chicken pox normally has blisters:
No, I don't think those look like chicken pox. They are usually a fluid-filled bump that breaks and then crusts over.
It doesn't look like chicken pox. It looks like bug bites, maybe ants?
Could be Chigger bites.. from the grass.. Chiggers bites are often confused with chicken pox... Chiggers are a type of mite, like bed bugs and they are found in the grass..
Chigger bites are common this time of year, by the way and they can be carried by animals.
maybe they are chigger bites or ant bites then ? he said they only each every once in awhile...is there anything you can do for chigger bites? except for tylenol and calamine lotion?
Helen also has something like that. The Doc said it looked like impetego - or some kind of dermatitis. So, he gave us a prescription for Bactroban and said to also use hydrocortisone. Peds are not really great when it comes to skin issues. If it does not clear up soon we'll go right to the derm.
