Erythema Multiforme

A cutaneous infection that is triggered after infections or certain medications. Good news....maybe not a drug allergy afterall. Bad news....we are now monitoring him to ensure he does not get dehydrated as this infection can cause ulcers within the mucous membranes. Little Landen is now taking Zyrtec, Benadryl and oatmeal baths. He is still in good spirits, even through his itchiness! I thought I would share a few pics: (I hope this is educational).

I am so sorry Landen. He looks so miserable, we are still praying for him. Love you guys!

What a sweet boy! I'm glad to hear that everything is going ok. He sure looks cute (although I know you would rather him not have the rash). Give me a call when you get a chance and we can talk about Saturday.

My little 8 month old boy was diagnosed with the same thing today. It is the saddest looking rash. We're on day three and it seems to be everywhere! How long did it take for your little boy to get better? Thanks for sharing...it's nice to know we're not the only ones dealing with this.
