My daughter has been getting weird blisters on her body and we have no clue what they are from. This has happened 4 times in the last 2m. The first time her ped put her on topical antibiotic cream amd they went away. Then a few weeks later she had a few more small ones pop up, we took her in and her ped said to put more cream. On them and call her if they didn't go away after a week. They went away in a few days. Then about a month ago she woke up with a huge one on her knee and shin, her pedi put her on oral antibiotics and it cleared up. Now, I just noticed she has another small one but it has already popped. I'm going to call her ped tommorow morning but I'm wondering if any of y'all have any experince or ideas about this. We ruled out food allergies and it is not from her bath soap, detergent, clothes, sheets etc. Also, these are not bug bites. Help!
ETA: thanx for all the advice ladies but this is not staph, she has been tested for it everytime and every culture came back negitive for staph.
I agree with Amber. Definitely have your pediatrician take a culture to see if it's staph. There is a strain that is antibiotic resistant, so it's good to test. Also do some research on it if that's what it is because it can be hard to get rid of. Best of luck to you :)
Did she have a bandaid there?
I get blisters from some bandaids. They look like little burn blisters. She might be allergic to latex.
good luck!!
I would definately ask your doctor to start doing some tests to see what the cause might be, instead of just treating the symptom. Otherwise go find another doctor. I can't believe after the third time she didn't ask for a staph culture or blood work. It may not be serious, but obviously there is something wrong that they keep reocurring! Good Luck!
It sounds very much like a staph infection to me. Esp since the oral antibiotics cleared it up. My daughter went in today actually with what I thought was a strange persistent diaper rash, and it turned out to be a strep infection on her bottom! Keep it in check for sure, and get more antibiotics if needed...i know that they can swab the puss or something like that to check it for sure, so that might be the next question for the dr. Good luck to you! ~A.~
