You know , when it comes to fixing the plumbing, call a plumber. If a window is broken and needs replacing call a glazier. If you have itchy , red sores on your arms go to a clinic, where doctors and nurses can diagnose the problem and give you a solution. Chicken pox in adults can lead to serious problems, so go to the clinic faster than sooner. Don't worry about the toddler. It is probably best if the little one is infected now than later.

Sounds like HERPES complex 4, it can not be cured. Stop sleeping around or you will spread it and contract more diseases. You may also want to get an aids test as most people with Herpes complex 4 also carry aids.
Also in the future when you baby needs medical attention or treatment use your ******* brain and take it to a doctor instead of coming here. Lets ask ourselves a question. Where can a person get the best medical help for their child , yahoo answers, or from a qualified doctor trained for many years to treat people , diagnose illnesses and cure them? Hmmmmmmmm im guessing its not yahoo answers.

This is NOT 'chicken pox' ... it's either a staph or strep infection and you need to see an 'epidemiologist' and get proper treatment. Try going to the emergency room of a GOOD hospital if you can't find a good doctor any other way, but BOTH of you need treatment, and soon. SERIOUSLY.

If it's chicken pox and you have one on your arm. Happy itching. There is over the counter cream that the pharmacy can get for you and MAYBE your baby

I would take him to the ER today. Not to freak you out ... but it sounds like his sores are infected and you may have picked it up too. Staph is going around, and this could be it. It is very important to get it treated right away. Good luck!

You need to get to a different doctor, now. That stuff could be the bacterial infection going around. It is resistant to treatment.

Consult another Dr. Their is some sort of infection going on. The wound needs to be cultured to find out the exact type of infection.

Sounds like he has eczema. He needs to go to a dermatologist and get the proper treatment for it. Go to the following website for more information: http://health.learninginfo.org/eczema.htm
There are ointments that the doctor can prescribe that will help your little boy.

did the doc say what to DO for the chicken pox? are you doing it? have you ever had it as a child? even if you did, YOUR rash could be an adult flare up called SHINGLES.
