Oh my goodness, that looks icky. I thought my rash on my face was bad but that is just horrible! I don’t even want to finish eating my carrots. Poor baby. Was he itchy or cranky or anything or did he just look like that?

I have a kid who used to randomly burst into hives on a regular basis. The only cause we ever came even close to identifying was a general chemical thing: twice she broke out into a reaction while we in the aisle in the grocery store with all the cleaning products — I’d run over a couple of aisles and grab a box of children’s benadryl and she’d be ok, and from then on we just skipped that aisle in the grocery store when she was along for the trip. We use all home-made, non-toxic cleaners at home, and never experienced any problems with our own stuff, so we never figured out what the specific culprit was. There were other random rashes and reactions, but never so we could figure out the cause. Eventually, she outgrew the extreme sensitivity and now just has to be careful about things like laundry detergent…

It is a reaction to something, but we have no idea what. He hasn’t been exposed to anything different, that we know of. To me, that is the frustrating thing, not knowing what caused it. But the good news is that it is MUCH better this morning.

I once had a girlfriend that had that, or… wait, she told me she had that. I never went back. Maybe the joke was on me!
