MommaOfalotta Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Its just a small area on her chin that is red and blistered? Almost looks like a severe sunburn but its just in that spot. She said it doesn't hurt at all. Im clueless! My mom took her to a pool yesterday and she got a little red under her eyes but shes not even sensitive today? Just wondering if this could be a big deal or if we should just let it heal on its own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hthnmamax2 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 If she's prone to cold sores on her lips, it may be a cold sore n her chin. I've been prone to cold sores my whole life and would often get them on my chin in the Summer if I got a slight burn. However, if she's not, I would take her to the doc and see if she could have picked something up at the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaOfalotta Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah the impetigo has me a little freaked. I looked into it and saw some pictures.. hers is much more mild and barely red at all. I washed it, put on antibiotic oinment and covered it.. I will be checking it soon and if it looks the slightest bit worse we will be going to get it checked. I reeeally hope its nothing bad. She has sensitive skin anyway.. veryyy prone to eczema and burns so easy. The only thing that makes me worry is she says it doesnt hurt. That doesn't sound like sunburn.

mumto2 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Could it be a food allergy? Dd breaks out with a rash near her mouth if she has been eating citrus and gets some on her face and leaves it. Did she eat something that she might be sensitive to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Poison Ivy? Does it itch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaOfalotta Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 She hasn't said anything about it itching, hurting, anything.. She didn't even know it was there. Im hoping to check it throughout today and hopefully it will be a little better.. Ive had it covered just in case :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 My dd gets little staph bumps on her chin. She is also prone to cold sores and I've wondered if they are related. Anyway, the doctor gave us a Mupirocin prescription. But, even OTC antibiotic ointment clears them up very quickly. By the next day, they are much better or gone...with treatment.

OrganicAnn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I've had little bumps once. I think it might have been a reaction to sunscreen or trapped sweat. I'm not sure, but they went away. I would wait a day and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaOfalotta Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thank you all so much for the advice, its not totally healed but looks much better today. Yesterday I washed it, applied antibiotic ointment and a band aid.. today the blisters are gone and the skin just looks a little irriated. So hopefully tomorrow it will be cleared up. Thank you all!

Mommyof4ks Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) If it cleared up with antibiotic ointment, then it may be impetigo. Change her sheets, pillow case, and toothbrush and watch out for strep in your other children. My youngest gets impetigo, and even when I catch it as soon as I see it and put the antibiotic ointment on it my middle son still gets strep within a few days. It is annoying. ETA: It sounds scary, but do not stress about it. Even when my son was immune compromised it was nothing more than a nuisance.

It does sound very scary! lol I was hoping and praying thats not what it was.. The blisters never ruptured or anything.. Neosporin cleared it up over night but I wont be totally happy until its gone.. for good.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
