Hives..

While doing school with Kaleb this morning he kept itching his stomach and saying it really itched. Now he is somewhat of an exaggerator so I just thought it must be a mosquito bite or something. After were done with school he takes his shirt off and this is what I see. This is a pic from the Internet not his belly but it looked horrible like this. I scoop out the rest of his body and he has them all down his legs and buns and everywhere. Poor kid I felt bad I didn't look sooner I gave him some allergy medicine right away and put some lotion on his hives. I have no idea what caused them he had oatmeal for breakfast like most morning with frozen blueberries in them. Anyone else know what can cause hives I always thought it was an allergic reaction that's it. Once the allergy medicine kicked in they started to go away but you can still see them and I'm afraid they'll come back. He hasn't had any new food or anything so I'm stumped.

My Caleb usually breaks out in horrible hives in the spring. Maybe it is something in the air. Have you tried an oatmeal bath. It usually helps the itching. I just put oats in cheesecloth, wrap it up and put it in the bathwater. I hope he feel better soon.

My kids have gotten them from reacting to a virus, suntan lotion and the obvious food allergy thing. Hope he feeling better.

Aww, poor baby! No advice as I've never had to deal with this, just lots of sympathy for both of you. Hope Kaleb's feeling better soon!
