DS is 3 he came home from CM last week with a raised, red rash with while bumps in the middle, like a stinging nettle rash, he was itching like mad,they were at the bottom of his neck and on his calf and ankle. They've turned into the spots in the picture and are still itchy.
I've thought about headline but there are none in his hair and bed bugs but I've gone over his mattress with a torch and searched in the seams of his bed/headboard abs the area around his bed, plus both me and DP sleep in his bed several times a week and we've not been effected.
Can anyone hazard a guess at what they are so I can try and eliminate the problem?
The one on his leg had a black barb in it that DP squeezed out and I thought only bees left a sting behind so I don't know if that's a different one but it looks and presented the same as all the others.
I also thought of fleas but we don't have animals living in the house that would have fleas (cat is an outside cat and the chickens are the other end of the garden) and DP is a magnet for them so if we did he would most certainly have bites.
The picture shows the ones on his neck and back but there are similar amounts of identical ones on his legs.
