They dont look as bad in the pic as they do on him. I have NO clue what they are. The one on his leg looked like a white head yesterday and the spots are warm.
He has had them for several days now and they are not getting any better.
Not bug bites or flea bites.
Any Ideas? I havent checked him to see if there are spots anywhere else yet. I was going to do that in a bit.

Ya they are kinda raised.
I called the dr and they had no appts today or tomorrow..but transferred me to a nurse line. I left a message but who knows when she will call back.
he has no fever that I know of. He has a clear runny nose and a cough. Last night he whined most of the night until we brought him to bed with us.
Uggg.... I hope its just a freak rash.

No not scratching at them. They dont seem to bother him. SO thats why I was thinking it was just a weird rash. But someone mentioned Chicken Pox to me.
I dunno I just hope that dang nurse would call back

My daughter always broke out in a rash when she would get sick. Sometimes the rash would go away after a day and sometimes it would get really really bad. It took 3 years and 4 doctors before we finally figured it out. Turns out she has chronic hives (though they never looked the way hives normally do) and any change in her emotions, health, or even just the change in weahter can bring on the hives. She is now on Zytec year round and hasn't had an outbreak in 4 year.
I don't know if this is what could be wrong with your son, but it could be a possibility. Could also be heat rash.

Ethan gets spots on his butt cheek sometimes that are from yeasty overgrowth/heat so we put a topical on it. If it looks like blisters it could be chicken pox. Just watch for spreading

Dustie, I would keep an eye out on your daughter just in case to see if she starts to develop anything

Well the nurse called me back. She said that since hes had these spots a couple days and they havent scabbed over yet then she doenst think its chicken pox( the bigger ones do look like they have bliters on them) but she just thinks that its some type of rash.
He goes in tomorrow morning to get them looked at. I hope its nothing too serious!

If the spots look kind of blistery, watch for a fever and spots in the back of his mouth. Hand foot & mouth disease seems to be going around lately.

okay now im thinking that he might have some allergies too. He has a clear runny nose, sneezing like crazy and his eyes are so watery that they are constantly dripping like hes really crying.
I just gave him some benedryl so we will see.
