to be disgusted beyond disgust.

[Quadrophenia]

right will try and summarise.. My twins suffer from terrible mystery spots, i have posted about them quite frequently on here in a quest to find some answers as to what they may be. Anyway someone raised a possible cause as something called hydradenitis supperativa, so i did some research and joined a forum. I had to be approved to join and once i'd done so i posted the history etc and some pics (the same as on my profile).
Well anyway someone demanded the photos be taken down as they are porn graphic (deliberately mispelt) , now I'm sure any rational person will see there is nothing offesnive about these pics but the mods duly obliged and took them down. I feel shocked and really quite saddened by this hysteric response, AIBU?

I bet it was USA based- they can get ridiculous over any bare skin at all. I can't imagine how those pics could be deemed 'porn graphic'.

SOunds completely and utterly demented to me: these must be the sort of people who think you should wear a long muslin tunic to take a farking bath...
ANyway, have you ruled out guttate psoriasis?

Had to post though no advice re spots. Having looked at the pics, I think it is bonkers that anyone could find them offensive - am not surprised you are saddened and shocked by the reaction you got on the other site. Feeling sad that we live in an age where these pics could possibly be deemed to be "porn graphic" - lunacy.

it was just the last thing I expected, it really did shock me and made my stomach do that wierd flippy thing, and then obviously made me want to fight my corner

madamez thanks, thats another new one to google, this is all proving really helpful

hi the red raised spots look similer (sorry never can spell that!) to what my daughter had/has. at first thay looked like warts she had a red angry one like on your pictures at the top of her leg just under her bum it was quite sore and ichy. then she started to get small clustes of them. basically they can be a result of exzema. and they can spread if touched then the hand touches somewhere else. they can last 12-18 months. the spots can be treated but they tend not to as this can cause scarring. now for the really helpful bit. i cant remember what it is called!! it is a long one, first word starts with M and the 2nd word is contagious*** something like that!! sorry probably no help at all but felt i had to post because i recognised the spots!

Is this what you mean merrymum? Molluscum contagiosum.
I hope you are able to find out what is affecting your little ones Quadrophenia and your pictures were completely innocent - just a worried mum needing some advice. for you.

They look just like some spots my dd has had, especially the one at the top of the leg. SHe had one identical to that in exactly the same place at Christmas, and even though it has gone down now it left a scar Have no doctors been able to help ?(sorry , am not familiar with your story) dd has had spots since then, most recently on her face (she is 3) and this has made me think that she has something similar to your dts.

Dear Mrs Quad,
Such was my shock at the sight of your childs knee that I was overcome with a fit of the vapours and have been abed these past 5 seconds. This is not what one expects to see on Crusty-Old-Apothecaries.com.

My good friend, Dr Fuch-Witt says you published even fouler images including one of a tummy. I refuse to believe a mother would be so base and beg you to put my troubled mind at ease.

Yours etc etc
A Daft Bitch

oh quad what a messed up world
I must say molluscum was my first thought - have you ruled it out?

yanbu - not sure what it is though.

For goodness' sake, what are those weirdos on? There is nothing even faintly inappropriate about those photographs.

FFS the only people who would be interested in those pictures would be dermatologists.

Hope you out what it is. Can you not get a referal to a dermatologist?

Can't believe that.Rubbish forum if you can't post those pics and ask about the spots.FFS.Not suprised you were upset by response.There's something really important you're trying to sort out and someone comes along and says that.On a forum about skin complaints!!ah well good luck finding out about spots.

mmmm lookingh at your pics reminds me of Dd2's spots on her arm. They only come up when we are at my SILs house, and I thought they were flea bites, but they take over 2-3 months to disappear. I should take her to GP.

The big ones look like when I get bitten by an insect and scratch it. The little ones look like when ds has folliculitis.

Are they itchy?

sounds very american. We got kicked off Venice beach when dd was 3 because she had taken off her bathing suit because it was wet and sandy and they said we had to leave if she didn't put it back on...

The spots look like either bug bites or chicken pox to me. Have you checked for bed bugs?

Interesting what yurt says. I used to sell translation rights for children's books - it's amazing what the American market won't tolerate.

There's NOTHING wrong with your pictures. Hope you get it sorted out soon. xx

I was in the US last year and visited friends-of-friends at their home. Their three year old dd managed to strip off all her clothes and dart out to me, very cute. Put her parents were utterly mortified and apologised profusely, over and over.

I found the whole thing bizarre. When I mentioned it to other friends from the US they said they would have been very embarassed at seeing a naked three year old. My response was WTF? Such silly prudery.

YANBU and I hope you find the answer very soon.

Madness!

surely you'd only find them 'porn graphic' if you were looking at them that way IYSWIM.

When kerrymum said 'Its the knickers' I ahd to go back and check because I thought they were shorts....

Stick to Mn in future quad.....MN knows everything

OMG pornographic????!!! What kind of f**d up twisted brain do they have? The mods should look into that poster as do they really want someone who 'sees porn' in innocent photos on their site looking at pics of children

Could the spots be flea bites? I get identical ones when I'm bitten as i'm allergic.

Hope you find out what they are soon.

Some people are just porn obsessed and will see it in the most innocent of pictures. Similar thing happened to a friend of mine who is on a few US forums. She's a big fan of sigs and tickers and had a picture in her sig of her daughter sucking a candy cane. Someone started a thread about how pornographic her sig was. It was a four year old eating a sweet, for heaven's sake!
