Hives

Poor Griffin. He woke up yesterday with hives. I didn't know what it was and took him to the doctor. He is on Zyrtec for a week and they should be gone by then. If they're not he'll do steroids and probably see an Allergist. I'm just hoping they'll go away.

After his first dose of medicine he started looking a lot better. I thought we got lucky and they were going to be gone for good, but no such luck. He woke up this morning covered in them. Even his ears and feet. His face is the worst though. He doesn't seem to be bothered by them and isn't sick, so I guess we just wait this out.

I think they are pretty scary looking, and I hate this...URGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


Anybody know anything about hives? (And no, it is not laundry soap, lotion, food, or anything obvious. He has had absolutely nothing knew, so we are at a loss as to what he is reacting to . Or it could be viral, but since he is not sick/no fever we are not leaning in that direction)

Is it impetigo? Luke got that at about 4 months old on his cheeks. I had to get a special cream for it from the doctor.

So sad it looks way worse then I thought it would!

I can tell you from personal experience, sometimes...there is no cause or reason for skin problems.

Jess says she has heard of getting hives from being too cold though.

That is all.
