That looks like the Big Red Measels to me. Coco I had this when I was young and that is what we were told if that is the case he was really one sick little guy. I am so pleased he is improving.

His body was so hot from the welts but also he was running a fever, he was so itchy with it, you can see his knees and ankles are swelled. The medication is helping but he needed a short course of steroids ( pediapred ) to take the swelling out of the joints. They say it is something viral, he had tubes put in his ears on June 7 and had ear drops for two days after, so they are not sure if that was part of it or not. We go back to the paediatrician Friday morning for a follow-up before the weekend.

Oh that poor little boy. My heart goes out to him and you. Hives can be extremely nasty. My kids had them when they were little and my husband gets them occasionally now. Here is some information on it. www.med.umich.edu/1libr/pa/pa_hives_hhg.htm
