Itchy arms, goose bumps, open pores...

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

I have a question about something strange that I see on my son. His hands are

always itchy from wrist to elbow but skin is usually clear. It is very thin skin

and it lookes like a baby skin usually.

Today, he came to me and said there is a rash pointing at his arm. The skin on

arm looked weird, bumpy and with open pores, just like an adult's nose or lobe

skin. It would become normal within seconds and then become ugly again.

Last year he had a small spot on his back with the same strange thing. The spot

would get bumpy and the pores would become very distinguishable. The spot would

come on and off for an hour or so and it lasted for a week. I never could manage

to get him to dermatologist because I couldn't catch the moment the spot was on.

Then, he got streptodermia bacteria on that area. Streptodermia stayed for a

day only, and disappeared by itself with no treatment.

I wonder what do you guys think about these symptoms? I wonder if this can by a

sign that his body is trying to get rid of something? Is there anyithing these

symptoms could mean, and what I can do about it?

Thanks in advance,

San
