Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi everyone. Last night (day 20 of Valtrex) I noticed on my son's stomach some red marks that look like fingernail marks or something that reddened his skin. Today on his inner thigh I noticed these same marks. They remind me of slight swirls or veiny looking red streak lines. I am not describing it well I don't think. Has anyone seen something like this? BTW no anti fungal on board. Considering SCD or BED diet though?? Kristie Aidan 3.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 My son has had all sorts of strange rashes and we rarely know the cause for sure. Is it possible they are indeed from fingernails and his skin is itchy? > > Hi everyone. > Last night (day 20 of Valtrex) I noticed on my son's stomach some red > marks that look like fingernail marks or something that reddened his > skin.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 The marks that my daughter had from die off looked terrible. I noticed some red streaking and then a few hours later it looked like a bug had bit her and the following day it was on her lower back, upper back and arms. It itched really badly and she began rubbing on everything. She rubbed so hard that she bruised between her shoulder blades. Once the bumps were gone she seemed more alert and has been more verbal although no real words other than Mama but she did say mine at school as she snatched back her toy. LOL I will never ever give my daughter a new medication without having dye free Benadryl on hand. LOL But as sick as this may sound I welcome any and all die off reactions because once they pass you can see a difference. Sheri aaron2kristie <aaron2kristie@...> wrote: Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Kristie, That¹s a new one for me, but if you want a great site to read on for ideas about rashes, go to... http://www.drgreene.org He¹s a pediatrician with a great website full of info about EVERYTHING. In fact, if you do a search on autism on his site and then click ³Autism Network Resources for Physicians², there is a link to .net! You can type ³rash² in the search window and read away. I did find one thing you might want to read on his site... it doesn¹t sound exactly like what you¹re seeing, but you might want to watch and make sure it doesn¹t progress to ³Henoch-Schonlein purpura² which is described in the link below. That¹s probably not it at all, but the way you described made me think it could be an inflammation in the blood vessels because of the red lines. We¹ve had red line rashes at our house twice... once from my mastitis (infection traveling down blood vessel) and once my son had one that led down a blood vessel from a bee sting where the venom had traveled. Here¹s the link about the ³Henoch-Schonlein purpura². I hesitate to even post it (Œcause I¹m pretty sure that¹s not it) but just in case I¹ll do it anyway. http://www.drgreene.org/body.cfm?id=21 & action=detail & ref=842 From: aaron2kristie <aaron2kristie@...> Reply-< > Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 01:05:52 +0000 < > Subject: Swirly Rash Hi everyone.
