Small red dots on hands and legs

[pillowhugger01]

Hi, my son is 13 months and this 2-3 months there's small red itchy dots appearing on his legs and hands. Not bed bugs, because we sleep together n we got none of it.. Anyone have any idea? Thanks :001_302:

does he drink milk on the bed? this could be little little ants that were drawn by the sweet milk . Yes milk is sweet.. that is what happens to my girl.

Yah, but I breastfeed him on the bed.. I took him to the doctor and she said it's skin allergy, just apply moisturizer..

Any kind of moisturizer?

Are the dots raised? My child had a rash recently. Very mild, but I'm curious.

Hi, I apply Johnson & Johnson moisturizer.. Now his legs no more rash.. And ya, his dots are raised.. Those tiny ones..

Thanks. I too applied moisturizer on the rash. They didn't go away within hours but more like the next 1-1.5 days.

We couldn't identify any particular foods that could have been linked o the rash, pedi didn't seem concerned when we raised it to him. Alright, will monitor n see how....

Ya, it won't go away immediately, have to wait for the next day.. How old is your kid?
