My 20 mon. old has had reactions for 2 1/2 months now, he was in Scottish Rite 2 weeks ago diag. with severe staphallofic? scalding syndrome. Here is my problem one of the Dr. suggested that Joshua had never probaly had reactions to insects it was staph all along, o.k. but I have killed ants and mosquitos on him and noticed the same reactions which are red hot raised about inch dia. all around with small blister clear discharge and they itch.
What do I do, I dont know how to protect him and I dont know really what the cause is.
Pediatrician is trying to fiqure it out but Joshua was misdiagnosed about 6 times before ending up in Scottish Rite.

Is there a specialist you can be referred to? I know how it feels not to know why thing happen to youy young child and it is very frustrating! Keep us posted, I have never heard of that. He does look like he feels miserable. Poor baby! My prayers are with you and him.
