rash talk

I've been consumed with rashes, food allergies, nutrition, and Biblical Arcing this week.

Here's a quick update on Cosette's rashes.

Rash #1: Polka-dot rash (looked like someone took a pink ballpoint pen & dotted her tummy, chest, arms & legs) began fading away the day after we took her off the Amoxicillin. It was completely gone by Sunday. One question remains: Was this rash caused by a) a virus or b) an allergic reaction to the antibiotics?

Rash #2: Giant red splotches beneath her thighs.
We've been applying an anti-fungal cream with no change. I talked to her doctor yesterday, and now we're adding 1% hydrocortisone along with the other cream for one week before I take her in for a follow-up.

That reminds me. I need to set up that follow-up appointment.
