We have just returned from a holiday to Cornwall. DS1, aged 4, had a severe allergic reaction to the new wetsuit we bought him and was very very sore. Included two trips to hospital, oral and topical steroids and two trips to have a dressing applied and then reapplied to a blistered area (he is clearly allergic to the neoprene or a chemical agent that is used to harden the rubber).
Feel like the worst mummy in the world!
Until we have formal allergy testing (waiting for a referral from docs at present) we are looking for an alternative to a standard wetsuit...anyone got any ideas?!
