Raised Skin Rash

by philly969, Sep 09, 2006 12:00AM
Hi there,  I came across this forum by trying to search the internet for answers.  My 4 year old son has a rash on his leg, two spots to be exact, it is not itchy and is not red.  But it is raised and feels like a bunch of little goosebumps.  He doesn't even know they are there.  My sister seems to think that it is Excema, because it runs in the family.  I don't think it is because when I use to have it and from looking at the other kids that have it, it looks nothing like it at all.  Has anyone ever seen or heard of this rash?  Thank you.

Probably would be good to let his pediatrician look at it to be sure.  No one here can likely tell you what it is, or might be.  Find out for sure, and then you won't have to worry about it.

I'm sorry, I was under the impression that this was a place to go to to share information or experiences with similar issues.  If I am posting at the wrong board then I would more then happy to go someplace else.

I'm not sure what your son has, but my son has also had the a similar rash.  Not red or itchy, just raised bumps.  He has had this off and on for about 3 years and the doctor said it probably is excema.  I did use a cream he prescribed on the rash a few years ago, but it is never very bad anymore.  You may want to post this question on the dermatology forum.

My name is Kaela. My boyfriend of 3 years has an 8 year old girl with severe excema. I never knew what it was until I saw her poor skin. It would crack and bleed all the time when we used to cover her in eucerin. I used to wait until she'd been sleeping a bit and then lather more on her. Nothing ever changed. Then I was introduced to a company that only produces botanically based products. My boyfriend and his ex-wife were more than willing to try it out so we began with these few products. I am soo thoroughly impressed with her results that I buy stuff for myself and all of my family. Her cracking and bleeding went away completely after a month and you could see results in just a couple of days. She no longer was scratching in her sleep and wearing band-aides to school. If you want more information let me know I think everyone should use this on their children and themselves. They have products that are all botanically based from Baby care- Vitamins-Remidies-Acne- to Anti-aging. If you have any questions e-mail me I found tons of information. ***@**** or ***@****
