His outbreak of rashes started on late Saturday, SUnday full blown , Monday subsided a bit.
Monday was a happy day for Shaun as ah yi , yi zhang and gua ma brought him to North POint Splash Park!! He had so much fun running around, playing iwth the water. And his rashes all disappeared, so strange. The pimply rashes were still there but not red at all. maybe because of the cooling water. When he was back home, mum let him soaked in bath tub with a green bean water and bamboo salt water. A little bit too warm to touch, so his face turned red again. Nevertheless, he was still feeling itchy so we diligently applied calendula cream all over his rashes.
Tuesday, we went back to KL!! And his redness were all gone, he no longer felt the itch. A little itchy once a while only. However, his arms left all the scars from his scratches, and all the pimply rough rashes were still on his face, although no more redness. And it din bother him at all, still actively playing and felt very happy running around, and exploring my home in KL< ehhe.
Today, I'm going to bring him to see PD, to confirm what rashes this is. Why bring to PD eventhough he has fully recovered? Because I want to know whether this is Measle? German measle/rubella?? or fifth disease? or just simply heat rash?? If they were measle or rubella, then he can opt this vaccine out liao - as he has not had his MMR vaccination yet.
Going to see Dr. Khoo at SS2 - 70 year old PD who saw me when I was a kid!! hehe.
I have lots of doubts because he has no fever, no other symptom at all. Other than his flu episode which happened 3 weeks ago, which were so mild that he recovered by his own. I will tell Dr. Khoo about these later.
================
Back from PD. He said they were viral rashes. So just give anti-histamine to stop the itch and some oilment to apply on his scratches. Dr say it's nothing serious.
