Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I keep meaning to ask Dr. G about but as soon as I get in the office I forget about it. Does anyone know why it happens or if there's anything to do about it? It goes away quickly but it always comes back.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 No, the raised red dots are usually yeast. Pitichia is little red dots but when you look closely at them you can see that they are burst capillaries. If I can get a good picture today I'll take one and post it to the chat list group so you can see what it looks like. A pitichia google search didn't produce much. cheryl On Oct 26, 2007, at 11:41 AM, wrote: > Are those the little red raised " dots " ? > > > > > > Does anyone else have bouts of pitichia on the bum? > > > > > > cheryl > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 We get the raised dots off and on constantly. My son is on ketoconazole and his been since February. I've asked Dr. G about them and he didn't seem interested, then we got off the subject and I forgot to ask again. Should we be doing something about them? > > > > Does anyone else have bouts of pitichia on the bum? > > > > > > > > cheryl > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 If they're not pitichia (haven't experienced that one at our house), could they be keratosis pilaris? I know that a lot of our kids seem to have it. It looks sort sort of like dry goosebumps, unless they get scratched... then they are red. Here's a good link about it... http://www.drgreene.org/body.cfm?id=21 & action=detail & ref=84 Caroline > From: <ljburns83@...> > Reply-< > > Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 21:25:06 +0000 > < > > Subject: Re: Pitichia > > We get the raised dots off and on constantly.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 It's actually spelled petachie. They can look like tiny red bumps, but for them to meet that diagnosis, there must be many many many of them. I get a little one here and there on my chest from coughing, but actually having petachie is a much bigger thing than most of our kids are going to have. Also, they're not raised, and I 'think' it would be a little hard to mistake it for some kind of rash. If I remember, it's usually on the limbs or across the chest, usually means low platelets and is associated w/a pretty major infection or other. Our kids do not usually have this.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 If it's on the buttocks, I'd suspect contact dermatitis or/and yeast. If it's on the front of the thighs, I'd think it could probably be hyperkeratosis (harmless and not worth worrying about). Hyperkeratosis will seem to come up out of the pores. That's what I'd want it to be, and it's very common w/our kids and us adults. It's not particularly uncomfortable, although you may be inclined to scratch it 'for fun'. It's not always red bumps - sometimes it looks from a distance like you got goosebumps, but it'll feel rough and you can scratch off individual bumps. There is also a condition where actual goosebumps come up (w/the hair sticking straight up etc) that is associated w/seizures, but when I've heard of that there were always other seizure related symptoms like smelling a bad smell, and I think the goosebumps would come up only on one side of the body or in one spot. Is it called hyperpilaris? Dunno. I think it could probably be associated w/some temporal lobe irritation. I noticed goosebumps a lot when my son was 5 (last year) and had a CFS attack and having lots of other problems, but they weren't really important. I also think you can get them w/dysautonomia too.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well that would certainly explain why I couldn't much in the way of results from a google search...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 My daughter has petechiae too. It happens when she is angry about something and screaming. I have to wonder if they are worse when she has more yeast on board than when she has less yeast but I can't prove either. I do know that there are times when it seems to be much more severe than others. She has been tested for Von Willebrands and she does have a mild form but she also has O blood type and so that makes it more difficult to diagnose. I believe that once the immune problems are completely in check maybe she will not have as much petechiae spots. Only time will tell.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 My son gets it probably every month or so. Same thing with my NT son. It's not severe like most of the pictures you find on the internet, though. Just a spattering of spots. It almost looks like he sat on something because they almost have a perfect pattern to them. Almost. I know he didn't but it's pretty odd. I've put a call into Dr. G but Jeanette had no idea what I was talking about and thought he had a rash of some sort. I told her it's not a rash and since I'm not very good at explaining it, I told her Dr. G would know what I was talking about. I have no idea if she actually told him, though. So I guess I'll just have to remember to ask him at our on Monday. Ha! Like that'll happen... cheryl On Oct 26, 2007, at 5:29 PM, wrote: > It's actually spelled petachie.
