Update:
Coulter's Rash=Eczema (which I have and had as a kid)
Very quick to be diagonsed at the Dermatologist. We got a new ointment to use that will be better for his sensative skin. Also lots to tips on how to keep it to minimum/non-existing...
Like: fragrance free laundry detergent, no dryer sheet usage, no soap in bath (not even for his hair), Eucrine Creme/Aquaphor--in the tubs! not in the pump!--they are different--did you know that?, and the list continues. Funny thing is we are doing about 97% of those things being that I have sensative skin. Hopefully this ointment helps out!!
The skin he's in...I just wish he could get out.
It all started about 2.3 weeks ago. Coulter got a few little bumps on the back of his one knee. I thought I would ask the Dr. at my 24 week check up...but like all the questions I want to ask...I forgot. The 3 dots grew to 4-5-6.
About 1.8 weeks ago I took Coulter in to be seen, now the red dots, blotchy areas were on the backs of both legs and at the diaper line. Oh yes and a little redness to his face (mainly cheeks). He got some meds, some worked others did not. I then headed out of town for 4+ days...to return to a little red raw legged boy--from butt cheek diaper line to calfs. Face clear.
Luckily, Thankfully, we have a Dr. in the family. (Whom might be annoyed by my paranoia--Love you Jen!) This wonderful Dr. has been there when we need her. When we randomly call her to check little C-she's there. Over the weekend things have gotten worse. Puffy red face (that comes and goes-always a little red though), itchy itchy red legs, not pretty I might add. Some of the creme helps. Some of the meds don't. We are just up in limbo. It is now time we take little C to a dermatologist this WEDS. We got in quick due to this Dr's pull. :) So if you think about it, say a little prayer for Coulter Wednesday morning as he venture to Sioux Falls to get this all checked out.

WOW!! We hope little C is better in no time and we will be praying this is nothing too big that a little more medicine can't fix!
Will be prayin'. Hope you get some answers. Did he try any new foods lately? Allergies? Maybe it's like your ring thing? He's a little trooper!
