Mystery Rash

Uncategorized Add comments

     Yesterday at 9am I received a call from school reporting Connor had a blister on his foot, then again at 10 something suggesting that his foot was still bothering him.  The teacher also recommended I pay him a visit.  So during their lunchtime I came prepared with bandage and ointment to see Connor.  He was so happy to see me and just kept smiling at me.  The teacher reported that Connor complained of foot pain in the morning, so she opened up his socks to take a look.  One foot was red and had a blister looking thing oimagen the sole side.  An hour later Connor still complained and did not want to participate in class activities as much, so the teacher checked his feet again.  This time the general redness had subsided but just a few big dots of redness on top remaining.  By the time when I was there, no more blister or big dots, but there were just a faint rash by his right ankle.  Connor had no complaints by then and was running around in the playground before lunch.  The rest of the day he was fine, the feet were completely back to normal.  I checked his body, head, mouth and hands after school, nothing was found.  He was happy as usual.

     This morning by 9am, Connor complained of foot pain again.  We removed his socks and saw some hives on both feet, top and bottom.  They did look like blisters which probably what the teacher saw yesterday.  It was bothering Connor quite a bit as they were itchy. We placed some hydrocortisone cream on the hives, and I decided to call the Advice Nurse.  The nurse thought that the rash was a reaction to something or a bite, and suggested us giving Connor some Benadryl to alleviate the itching.  After a big struggle, Connor took the medicine.  Before the medicine could kick in, Connor already had no more complaints.  The next time we looked at his feet, the rash had completely disappeared.  Connor was the usual happy boy with a big appetite.
