Yes it sounds like a joke, but it's not. DS2 started basketball a month ago. He loves it. Last week, he said his feet were itchy, but after a bath, he was fine. Yesterday, as we came home, I noticed his legs were red and full of hives. He told me his hands were itchy as well, and his palms were bright red. I'll try to put pictures on profile.
On his legs, you can see the line where his shorts ended. I managed to see a doctor yesterday evening, and she confirmed an allergy reaction and gave us Zyrtec.
So anybody else has something similar? Is the ball? the floor?
He is 6. He has a severe allergy to penicillin, mild to peach skin and Red40. Also others not yet identified.
