Solitary mastocytoma question
by primaamanda, Jun 15, 2009 11:30PM
My child has a solitary mastocytoma diagnosed by a pediatric dermatologist. The doc seemed to gloss over it and said it would go away in a few years. But everything I read about this says there is the possibility of danger.
What are the chances that this will : A. turn malignant B. prove to be a systemic problem or C. result in anaphylaxis or other severe allergic reaction?
My child seems healthy and doesn't seem to itch but has broken out in hives on a number of occasions, has occasional vomiting and stomach pain, and possibly other symptoms of allergy. He had a reaction to egg yolk, but his dermatologist said hives would not be related to food. Isn't that crazy?
Finally, are there pediatric allergists and should I see one related to this problem? Thanks.
