Poor guy almost 6 months and skin is off and on like this rash. Doesn’t bother him but looks bad. Seeing doctor next week but anyone have experience with this? Allergies maybe?

Question

Answer

That looks like hives to me (I’m mom to one two year old with crazy allergies and eczema, so that might be all I see when people share rashes 🤷‍♀️)
I’d recommend at the very least giving him a long bath and some sort of thick cream like Baby Vaseline/Aquaphor immediately after to keep whatever it is from breaking his skin.
And maybe take a close look at any new foods/soaps/clothes/blankets?
Most meds at this age for allergies are doctor recommendation/prescription only, so hopefully gentle ways of soothing his skin in the meantime will be enough.
Amazing that he doesn’t seem bothered! As long as it’s only his skin that seems affected, you should be safe waiting for answers whenever you’re able to get an appointment. The only thing to really be concerned about then is if any allergen causes wheezing/throat closing signs- get him urgent help (like rush to an ER) right away if that ever happens!

Answer

Did this show up suddenly or has it been getting worse? I would call his doctor and see if they can get you in sooner or consider ER/urgent care. If that's an allergic reaction it could be dangerous
