Puzzled - Rash That Comes and Goes

My son would get this weird rash that was always coming and going and we asked the doctor as we could see no rhyme or reason to it. He'd rub anything against his face and it'd get all red. She ran her fingernail lightly over a small bit of the inside of his arm and a small red welt stayed there for a little bit. He's just got sensitive skin. Not allergies or anything like that, just sensative skin. I found it online but have no idea where anymore as it was several years ago (I'm trying to see if I can find it again). I have it and looks like my daughter does too. Pale skin that shows everything. It's completely harmless and is purely cosmetic. She said it was nothing to worry about. Might be possible this is what she's got.

Maybe a food allergy? Record what foods she she just ate each time you see the rash and see if there is pattern. When my son was younger there were certain fruits like pineapple and lemonade that everytime he would have them, his entire mouth/around the lips would turn completely red.

Rosatia?

We had the same problem, and it is likely a food allergy. For my daughter, it was the artificial dyes she ate in a lollipop. We avoid all dyes, but whenever she'd go to the post office she got one, for many months. Not anymore! And the rash disappeared forever.

It could be an allergy or sensitivity to some chemical in the environment or to something she eats or drinks - something is generating toxins that are released through the skin as the rash. You might want to observe any pattern of when it appears to identify any triggers... using aloe vera, neem, and tea tree oil can help skin issues clear up. Tea tree oil is strong so just a small amount of that diluted for a baby - it's a powerful antimicrobial oil that everyone may want to have in a 1st aid kit.

I know it sounds odd, but she could be reacting to any number of things, including pollen, etc. My son has allergy-induced asthma, but I his allergy symptoms show up in various ways, any or all of which may exhibit: 1. His ears turn pink. 2. Hives develop on his neck. 3. He sneezes a TON. 4. He coughs little coughs to clear his throat. 5. He has a prickly looking rash--not at all itchy--on his torso.

And his allergies are all to pollen, flowers, etc., though he can also react to acidic food (oranges, etc., since he's now 7 and can eat anything). What do you use for laundry detergent? Do you use a fabric softener? Do the paper towels have a pattern printed on them? Honestly, she might even be allergic to rubber--my husband is! If this remains consistent, I'd find out from a doctor what may be triggering this. It might not be allergies at all.

Sorry this got so long! I hope you find the solution soon!

Take away all milk and soy products for two weeks and see if it doesn't go away totally.
