sbgrace Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 My son (8) got his first sunburn this week-end. I just didn't think as we went to a family reunion that he would have sun exposure and he got burnt on his cheeks, nose, and ears. I feel responsible and I hate that it happened but it's done. That was Saturday. He kept the red cheeks all week and I was puzzled. I started thinking he might have fifth disease actually. Now I think it's eczema. In fact today it was on his chin too. I can't figure it out. Would the burn itself cause eczema? Lotion that has always helped him isn't helping. He's an allergy kid but he doesn't have it anywhere else and he hasn't had eczema on his face since he was a toddler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
