Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 We (my twins) had sackie a few weeks ago. Nick had 101 fever for 2 days and a rash on his belly, groin area and legs that looked like prickly heat - no little whiteheads. The clincher was the cold type sores all around his lips. Robby had a fever of 103 for almost 5 days, no rash on his body but his inner lips, tongue and a his upper lip had horrible cold sores. He refused to eat anything for two days. All this happened while we were vacationing. Bonnie from Long Island Mom to -10, twins and (ds)-2 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Colleen used to get a rash in that area *a lot* and they always had the white heads.... it was usually diagnosed as a Staph infection (bacterial) and she was given oral Keflex which usually cleared it right up..... BUT there are so many other things that it could be that I would definitely have it looked at.... the white heads *usually* mean that it is more than the standard yeast based diaper rash.... imh(nonmedical)o.... my 2 yo is being treated for the yeast rash with a nystatin/hydrocortisone cream which has worked wonders.... but his bumps do not have *any* white heads..... Good Luck and keep us posted.... {{{hugs}}} Shelby :-) - Chicago - ICQ 39583211 (Mother of Caitlin 10, Kelsey 8, Jimmy 6, Colleen 4 (DS), 2.)

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 That doesn't sound good at all! If it were me, I would go straight to Dr. G tomorrow (if they are open) or Tuesday. I hope you get an answer that's better than mine...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Kristy, I wish I had more ideas, but the only thing I can think of is that filled blisters are what happen to the children of a friend of mine when they eat corn. Good luck figuring it all out! Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi Kristy - I'm not exactly sure, but you're describing my husband's recent rash, and it was a staph infection. A few lesions presented differently than that without the blister, but he did have one that had a blister (for a while) too. They started like a bite or a zit, then flat angry red skin (inflammation), one a clear fluid blister that later filled w/pus. If it gets a black scabby-looking center (just like a scab but darker), then it may begin to abscess. Impetigo is usually a bunch of little white pustules, isn't it? But staph doesn't always do that. I don't know about just the plain blister. But the other one, I'd ask if it could be cultured. Is there any puss that could be collected? I took my son for a lesion that I figured was staph because my hubby had had it. He was diagnosed w/a brown recluse bite. But she cultured it, and it came back MRSA staph. His lesion looked completely different than his dad's. Don't let that scare ya. First, it may not be, but it is overlooked and misdiagnosed sometimes. It's really not usually that bad if it eventually gets taken care of. Oh - and they all started looking like a little bite.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks so much for the replies!! What were the treatments? Is Bactoban cream sufficient, or does she need something more? An oral antibiotic? She was intolerant to corn as a baby (it was killing her), so I'll remove it and see if it makes a difference. We're in San Diego, so I don't think I'll take her to Dr. G, but maybe back to the peds and see another dr. in the practice today.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (bronx)... I saw your daughter came back with 1 gene for FMF. My son did too (last week I got the call)...Ped ID Doc said it shows that he is just a carrier (hetrozygus)...but doc wants to do further testing on it)... I also have appt with Ped Rheum in a couple weeks at Hackensack Med Ctr because I just felt the Ped ID doc was just too unfamiliar with all the Periodic Fever Syndromes. I need an answer already!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 My son just had Henoch-Schonlein Purpura a little over a month ago. Not a very pleasant disease and we felt fortunate that it only lasted a little over a week for us. He was poked & prodded alot that week since he seemed to hit every serious symptom & some unexplained others. I was glad that he was still small & I could still carry him around on those non-walking days. My son's HSP came a few days after a typical episode, so we are not really sure what trigger his illness. I did a search on this site & did not find any other mention of it. I was totally suprised when you mentioned it, because only about 10 in every 100,000 children will get it. In my research of HSP, I did find mention on one site that it is sometimes common in children with FMF. We are getting ready to do the genetic testing, so not sure if we fit in that category or not.
