Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Two weeks ago this saturday, we discovered that my 5mo old son has red papul-like spots only on arms and legs. He did however have a couple on face but nothing like arms and legs. Blood work was done and urinalisis and everything looks normal. Almost looks like some type of insect bites like fleas. But it went away for a couple days, and is now back. I am so frustrated! He has eczema and allergic to peanuts. But he only gets formula and/or breastmilk and some rice cereal. Allergist says it could be a form of hives. But they are too symmetrical (circles) for me to believe they would be hives.
Symmetrical circular skin lesions could be ringworm or atopic dermatitis or it could be a form of fungal infection. But skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
