Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
No one seems to be able to come up with one diagnosis for my daughter. Some have said HFMD, and some have said an allergic reaction to anitbiotics (which is bullshit) The blisters don't seem to hurt her too badly, she just can't crawl on her knees. We don't know where the cut on her ankle came from, but if this is some sort of staph infection, I'm willing to bet that's where it started. She has one large blister that popped on her arm, but other than that, it all seems mostly confined to her lower extremities, including her pubic region, which looks just like her knees. She has no rash or blisters on her trunk. If any of you have an idea of what she might have, please let me know. My wife and I are freaking out.  ·  ·  · |

Bites? Insect bites? At first I thought poison ivy till you said groin. Bed bugs? Spider? As you may have guessed, I'm no doctor. |

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
No but she has the vaccine. Shingles do look similar but her lesions seem to be more round, and less clustered than shingles. |

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
Impetigo? Any blisters on her face? Just for the record I have just had an illness diagnosed by doctor number SEVEN! And I have had a biopsy done on my leg as it's also a skin thing- vasculitis. But anyway- have they done blood tests? Urine tests? |

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
You know what? Google VASCULITIS and read about the various forms- just looking closely at the pics- are there lots of little red spots that don't go away when you press a glass to them? Don't worry, I am not thinking menengitis-I have these red spots too. PM me if you want any more advice. |

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
You can still get shingles even after having the vaccine, I'm living proof. How long has she had the blisters? They aren't as clustered as you'd expect but I'd guess shingles, and maybe it's the fact that they aren't as clustered that throws the docs off. If it is indeed shingles...they go away in a week or so, be treating them after they kinda die off with scar cream..I still got the outlines of them on my thigh that scarred. Good luck to the young one on figuring out what's wrong  At any rate, I definitely think it's good she's on antibiotics. |

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
That looks like shingles/chicken pox to me.

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
Meningitis is A bacterial or viral infection that when NOT treated is DEADLY!! I know this because my 7yr. old son passed because of it. IT IS NOT Meningitis, so do not worry about that.  I agree with Kelly, look into that

Re: Four Doctors Have Not Been Able to Diagnose This
That's exactly why I said don't worry! The only reason I mentioned it was because IF the spots don't go away it could be a form of vasculitis- I too have the red spots that don't go away- see my Henoch–Schönlein purpura post below.
