Possibly an allergy, has he eaten something new just before this broke out , any Meds he is Taking or Supplements, new tooth paste or mouthwash, Does he drink sodas I know some poeple are allergic to the sweetners in soda,the itching does sound like an allergy so check it out, probably take its course.
thank you for writing. i've thought of all of that. nothing new...we use the same soap, toothpaste & eat the same things as we do everyday. i've taken him to the dr. & she is saying that this could be a form of strep throat.... which can also cause infection on the skin. we're waiting for his 2nd diagnosis to come back in. if not strep, she's saying maybe kawasaki disease!! that sounds crazy, but it also an infection on the skin. she also found a slight heart murmur, which totally freaked me out!! i'm praying that we can find the right answer.
