weird blotchy skin?

Question

This is a new thing. When I wipe my son's face, or kiss him, he skin turns red for a long time. I am gentle. One day his cheek where I had been kissing him looked bruised for almost an hour. Here's an example? Any ideas?

Answer

The antibiotic may have made him extra sensitive, in which case it will be gone in like a month. But in the meantime use only a soft washcloth with water, no wipes (my son gets that with wipes too! I always have to warn everybody.) As for coming from you, it could be your perfume, lotion, a skincare product, even your own sweat. So many things cause allergies. Keep your skin very clean and dry, and buy oil blotting sheets to use as well before you rub up on him. To this day when my dad, who has a prickly stubble on his face, gives me a kiss on the cheek, this happens. I’m allergic to the oils that get injected into my own face when the little pointy hairs prick me.

Answer

My friend has dermatographia. When she touches herself it leaves a mark for hour and scratching causes the skin to raise really high. We used to write notes to each other on her skin 😂 Also looks like a possible allergic reaction. Most wipes have alcohol in them.

Answer

Are you wearing makeup? I would take him to the doctor. Seems like an allergy.

Answer

This has only started happeneing in the last few weeks. And the only thing that has changed is we have been outside more, and he was on an antibiotic for 10 days. But the rash only occurs after we wipe or kiss his face

Answer

Looks like an allergic reaction to something.
