My son has had bumps in random places on his body since he was born! I've taken him to 4 docs for opinions- and they all say it's eczema. I treat the spots now with Cortisone cream (you can buy it at the drug store- use a thin layer over the bumps twice a day) and it makes them go away. It's worth a try! |

my son has been having major break outs as well... my doctor said it was some form of acne but you really can't treat it other than keeping the skin clean and free from stuff that would cause a reaction.. try a milder detergent for clothes, a different kind of soap, like johnson and johnson baby wash.... Also told me to not wear restrictive underware, so we switched to boxers and non tight jeans..
See if that does the trick.. if not try going to the dermatologist... |

He could be allergic to the soap or detergent that you are using. |

Take him to a dermatologist. I have a pediatrician and a dermatologist in my family. The pediatrician readily admits that he has about 4 weeks worth of dermatology training versus the three YEARS a dermatologist has. Call a dermatologist. It could be anything from allergies to excema. |

My daughter is 3 and had what seems to be the same problem all over her body. And we thought it was bug bites or chicken Pox too.
And the Doctor said he had seem it before and that it was a HEAT RASH. that's what it sounds like to me. |

It could be dry Skin. This time of year it is common. Try some lotion on him, and baby oil in the bath. (or to keep your tub from getting slick, put it on afterwards, before he towels off..) |

Try washing all his clothing in a different laundry soap. Changing his shampoo/soap might help too. I'll bet it is an allergic reaction to something in his everyday environment... Anything that touchs his skin needs to be handled differently until you find the cause.. Good Luck!! |

Sounds like what my daughter just went through! The doctor also told me that it wasn't chicken pox, not flea bites, not scabies(Eeew!), that it was probably some type of allergic reaction to something...Only problem with that theory was that we were doing nothing differently!
He told me to keep her away from eggs, and ground beef, until the bumps cleared up, and it helped. As soon as the bumps went away, she ate normally again, and so far so good! But I also kept her away from any beef for about 5days.
I don't know what caused it, and I don't know why...but i'm glad it's finally gone!
Hope this helped! Good luck! |

my daughter gets that also and it sounds like it could be ezema. if that is the case his skin is really sensitive to perfumes and dyes, soaps, etc. |

Have you looked into bedbugs or mites?

My nephew gets the same thing every spring and summer. For three years now they have no clue what it is. I know that's not much help. All the stuff about young children and the "super bug" seem to include some skin rashes/bumps etc. I wouldn't worry about it if he is healthy otherwise though. |

could be a heat rash. i used to have those when i was a baby. they usually go away as long as you keep his skin moisturized. |

Is it rash like? Like needle point small? Could be a reaction to something. Like soap, lotion, food, perfume, etc. Have you recently changed ANYTHING at home. It could be as small as new cleaning products used to clean around the house or a new air freshener. Maybe a new perfume or cologne by a family member. Skin also reacts to stress. So think of anything, and I do mean anything that has recently changed in his environment. I once cared for a little boy who would get welts all over whenever he was frustrated, ill, or tired. It looked like someone had scratched him all over. But they would go away as soon as his mood was better. So look at all possibilities. |
