Eczema similar to Acne

Hi Helen

My eighteen months old son happened to have an eczema similar to acne, with small spots similar to pimples in his forehead covering an area at the size of my palm, as well as in the hair line of the back of his head. Later he had the similar kind of spots in his loin, and with a temperature of 37.5C we called the emergency service and the doctor prescribed the use of antihistamine for a couple of days in case it was an allergic reaction.

Today, a few days afterwards, we have discovered a few new spots, one at a time, they still seem to be itching and the spots in his forehead have become dark red. He eats well and is playing and active as usual.

I am curious to know whether you have any knowledge of similar symptoms?

My son is hereditarily predisposed toward allergy from both parents, and we have previously experienced allergic reactions, however, not as pronounced as the actual case.

Best regards
Kristine
