What Is the Problem?

Hi Moms - My 3 yr old son has been breaking out in hives for the last 2-3 days. He is itching like crazy! I started to think that it was because I changed my fabric softener sheets. The box said that they were comparable to Bounce (which is what I used to buy). Now, he started with the runs. There was a little yest. but I didn't think much of it. This morning, it is full blown runs. Are these symptoms possibly connected? What is the problem? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks Rye

Dog with VERY Sensitive Skin

Hi Everyone, We adopted a dog 5 months ago. Reese is a 4 year old mix of "we think" Retriever, English Pointer, and Pitbull... She weighs about 45 lbs and we've had nothing but problems with her skin. I feel so bad for her because I'm sure she's very uncomfortable. She's been to the vet twice and today she just got another cortizone shot, she's on meds, a special shampoo and we got a spray to relieve the ichness from the vet.. The vet thinks 95% it's allergies. She could be allergic to the grass, pollen, dust mites, who knows what else....

Skin Reaction to Peanut & Cashew Butter

Hi, When my son was 9 months old he touched some peanut butter that we were giving to the dogs and his skin broke out in a red rash with welts. We have never given him any peanut butter or any other nuts in fear of provoking an allergy. He is 2 now. Yesterday I was having a rice cake with cashew butter and decided to give him a little to try. I gave him a piece the size of a quarter and he ate it. I then noticed that his hand and wrist were red with white welts. I think he was putting his hands in his mouth and this is how it got on...

Healing from Poison Ivy Rash

I got a fairly bad poison ivy rash on both of my arms. It took 2 rounds of steroids, steroid cream and antibiotic to get it under control. I still have red discoloration from where the rash was, no more blisters or open wounds. I've been putting aquaphor on it. Is there something else I should try. I'm fair skinned so I scar fairly easily. Also, I know the steroid pack affected my sleep and I still feel like I can't sleep well at night. How long does it take to get back to a normal nights sleep, I've been off the steroids for 3...
