My10-year-old Grandson Was Just Playing A Game On His X
Question: My10-year-old grandson was just playing a game on his X Box when his mother noticed his skin looked strange. It reminds me of elderly skin when it becomes very thin. Blotchy, discolored, dark lines against a light background involving both arms and legs, chest, abdominal area,& neck. Warm to touch, no fever. does not itch, burn or tingle. Otherwise no complaints. This was just noticed within the past 10 minutes.
I have sent a picture of my grandson's leg. Let me know whether you got it or not.
I know you are all very busy but the parents are standing by to take my grandson to the emergency room if need be. I have asked several questions before and never had to wait this long for a reply. Did I do something wrong? in asking my question?

What can we expect from the ER? Should we be looking for other symptoms? What can be done for this condition and is it inherited?

Anti-histaminic

Doctors in ER may run a few blood test to rule out serious blood vessel inflammations
May give a shot of anti-histaminic medications.
Yes, there might be a mild increase in temperature , there may or may not be itching.
