Hi
I have a 3YO who has these little flare ups every now and then where he gets these little spots on his upper face - they are small like freckles, but kind of reddish. They pretty much start at his nose and go up to his forehead.
About a year ago when my 10 month old was born, my parents were here and were watching my then 2YO and he had a blanket over his head like a ghost and fell into the ledge of the window - missing his eye, but fractions of an inch. He had a nice black and blue eye. About a month later these spots started to show up around his eye. They would come and go. So I made a dermatologist appt. and he said it was a flare up likely from the fibers of the blanket - it was a fleece blanket. He said the fall could have been hard enough and made these little fibers go in his skin and it was just a flare up from the irritation. Well then it was just right eye, now the spots are on his whole upper face. I know it's not mumps, measles, chicken pox etc. because it comes and goes.
I'm wondering if it is an allergy response. I guess grass and tree pollen are moderate to high right now in Texas. He doesn't complain about anything bothering him. His nose started running on Monday - it's clear and I think that is allergy related and then the spots flared up again.
I'm wondering if anyone's kids have this issue and if so, is it an allergy response or something else?
Thanks!
Vicki
