Ok, on Nov 26th (thanksgiving), I started to notice an itchy rash on my stomach right below my breasts. I thought it was hives because I am under a LOT of stress (family legal issues, family health problems, wedding planning, fiance out of work, holidays, trying to quit smoking, etc). That night I noticed I had bumps that looked a lot like mosquito bites only some of them were smaller and itched worse than a mosquito bite. I still figured they were hives. But then the next day my sister said she had them too. Our mom said it was the “three day measles” so I looked that up. I did have some symptoms- same kind of bumps (although not very many, probably only 10-20) and a few nights before I’d had a low grade fever and swollen glands but I have been immunized, just like the rest of the USA so I should not have them. But I was worried because measles can cause birth defects and I work with a pregnant woman. Monday morning I went to my family doctor and he took one look and said chicken pox- it’s impossible to have measles. The problem I have with that diagnosis is this- I still have them two weeks later, I’m still getting new ones, they are mostly on my stomach and breasts with a few strays on my legs and arms. I had chicken pox when I was 9 and I remember them well. These bumps don’t have a blister or pimple like head. They are just itchy bumps. They only scab over if I scratch them till they bleed (usually in my sleep as I try to take benedryl and put on aveeno anti-itch cream with calamine and oatmeal. I thought they were going away about a week ago but a couple days ago, I got more new ones in the same place they started. I’ve been watching my diet, soaps, etc and can’t think of anything new that could be causing contact dermatitis. I do have two cats but have been always told that fleas don’t live in our climate here (it’s been around 20 below lately) and if it was fleas, wouldn’t my kids and fiance have them and wouldn’t my cats be itchy? They are rather large bumps in some places to be fleas and I read that flea bites are oozy. Can you get this kind of rash because of stress? What else can I do to make them stop?
Also wanted to add- these are not scaly, rough or blistery. They are very sparse- maybe 30 of them at the most all over. Already looked up scarlet fever- that was my supervisor’s diagnosis- but don’t fit symptoms. I sleep next to my fiance and he hasn’t got it. My sister also has not passed hers on to anyone. We don’t live together. I believe hers have gone away.
also, there have never been any on my face or neck or armpits (my sister had one in her armpit though) or groin area.

My first son had eczema and I can’t remember how many months old he was when he first started showing signs. My 5 week old has little red bumps and I was wondering if this was the start of eczema. I know it can start at different ages but just curious, when did your child start exhibiting signs? What did you use?
My first son outgrew it when he was about one year old. He was chubby one too.

LATEX DEATHS
THE FDA SAYS ONLY 1% OF LATEX DEATHS ARE REPORTED
Delayed contact dermatitis from chemicals in rubber has been recognized since the 1930s.4 But except for rare early reports, clinicians did not appreciate systemic allergic reactions to latex proteins until 1979, when case reports began to appear in Europe.
Latex allergy erupted in the United States shortly after the Centers for Disease Control introduced universal precautions in 1987. By late 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received 1133 reports of serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis occurring to patients and health care staff associated with 30 classes of latex medical devices. There were 15 patient deaths associated with latex barium enema catheters.
The FDA estimated that the reports represented only 1% of actual occurrences
