Hey ! Thanx for the replies !...I got her in today and well...doc said, after examining her, that she was an " enigma"...( thats probably not spelled right , but you get the picture)....diagnosis...it LOOKS like scabbies...whatever that is...and since it doesnt hurt or itch, it ACTS like the chicken pox like virus , but doesnt look like it. Dr said because Creed hadnt been clawing at it she was going to treat it as the chicken pox like virus. ( I cant remember what she called it)...So she gave her some cream called Elidel and we go back in 2 days for recheck. Doc also said if it were treated as scabbies and its not, it might make it worse.......YIPPEE !!!.....At least Creed has been a good sport . We'll see how she looks in the morning after the cream has had a chance to work. Keep your fingers crossed and again I thank yall for responding !

Elidel is used for Eczema so I am assuming that is what the doc thinks she may have. As for the Impetigo that is contagious and spread if she picks at the scabs. Be sure to wash your hands well after you put on any medication since they aren't sure what she has and be sure that no one else in the family uses the same washcloth or towels that you use on your child. The nose bleeds though could very well be part of the dryness of winter. Do you use a humidifier in your home and one in her bedroom at night? If not I would advise getting one to keep the moisture up in your home. Also since her nasal passages may be dry rub some vaseline inside her nostrils at bedtime to help keep them moist. Good Luck.

Thanx JustMeInID and mlgable !...Have you noticed anything that triggers your son getting ( if he does) reoccuring bouts of it ?? ...And Mlgable, the elidel isnt doing much, its kinda drying it out, but its still spreading . And on her inner thigh by her front bottom, its still not looking good. Maybe Im just over expecting results !. Im giving it til Friday. Yeah we've got a humidifier , and she gets regular bleeds in the summer.. I dunno !...Since its out of both sides , its really weird !..I keep her nose moist with neo and saline...just keep yalls fingers crossed and again , I appreciate yalls replies !!

My son is a "picker." If he gets even a tiny sore, he can't leave it alone. That means that he's getting lots of bacteria into it from his hands and nails, which, in turn (I'm assuming), "creates" impetigo. If we can just keep their hands away from their faces, we've got it licked! :)
