Anyone Know What This Is?? Should I send the kids home?

I had something similar at the start of the summer...it lasted about 2 weeks (Benedryl did not help) then suddenly (just as I decided to make an appointment) it just went away. Still have no idea what it was & no one else around me caught it. So weird?! Good luck

I always thought shingles were painful? and the only way you can contract the shingles "virus" is if you have had chicken pox. have you had chicken pox? It may also be a virus, sometimes dif viruses can cause rash. Hmmmm! I would def go to doc SOON, if its spreading and also tell parents, hate to have their kids come down with it in a few days and regret not removing them from care. Good Luck!

Sorry, got busy and didn't get back to DCB until today! All is well - was a contact allergy of some sort. Doc gave me a cortisone cream, and told me that no amount of antihistamine would have worked on it. It's starting to go down, and isn't very irritable any more. Phew.

I am thinking it was the Kiss My Face body wash I got for my daughter. I use the patchouli all the time, but this was a mint/lemon or something. Bummer, as it smells really nice.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Glad you are on the mend ~ bummer about the wash ... I have empathy cause there are very few products I can use on my skin without a reaction.

Alpha, I'm really glad you went to the doctor. Like I said, don't mess with your health. Feel better!
