Telehealth Ontario is good

Thing 2 has a reaction to something. Call it a rash, hives or small blisters. My education was spent studying the likes of Shakespeare NOT skin irritations.

Some areas of Thing 2 are covered in clusters while other areas have stand alone spots. Why didn’t I go to medical school? (truth; I’m really all bedside manner)

Hmmm. What is new, I wonder? We tried new sunscreen but it’s been a good week that we’ve been using the spray able UVB/UVA 30. We went swimming in a friend’s pool but no one else has had a reaction (plus, the reaction is specific to left side of Thing 2’s face and one wrist – no where else). No new detergents. No new soaps. No trips to farms, forests or other insect/animal destinations.

Called trusty old Telehealth Ontario 1-866-797-0000. I’m wondering if it is Hand Foot and Mouth Disease or Impetigo. Probably not either says the nurse after hearing our case. (Whew!).

As Lady MacBeth said; “Out, damn’d spot! out, I say!”.
