| Rayyan driving us around |
Two weeks ago, I started to discover a couple of spots on Rayyan's bum. More like an
insect bite, but I was thinking nothing of it. Then, from 1 spot it became 5 spots and none of it dried up eventhough I tried putting on Econizine for fungal. It looks red and started to blister so we decided to bring him to a clinic. The doctor dismissed it as allergy, gave us
diaper rash cream and ask us to change his diapers. So we did. It didn't go away still. After 3 days, the blisters started to pop up on his neck and face. Told Mr. Bob we must bring him to the clinic again, and a different doctor also told us it was allergy and dismissed us after that.
The very next day, there was a
large blister on Rayyan's leg that I couldn't let myself believe what the doctor said and decided to bring Rayyan to a skin specialist. Lo and behold, she told us that it was impetigo (not allergy) and he has to be treated with oral antibiotics and cream. I was quite furious with my lack of judgement and that my baby had to suffer much longer that he actually should.
So, I share this picture and story of mine so that you could find out what impetigo looks like and how to help the healing process. Fyi, it took for more that a week to properly dried up and your child is contagious and had to be kept home.
