Red stops only on left side of 3 year olds abdomen

My son has had these red spot on the left side of him on and off for a few weeks now. I had no idea what it could be I did think bed bugs although I have checked his matress I've ironed it, I've sprayed it with flea spray. I wash his bedding 1-2 times a week.
He gets in our bed more or less every night and no one else has these spots.

He also gets little blood rashes on and off but again only the left side. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow. Anyone know what it may be.

Shingles?
Are you meant to spray flea spray on human bedding?

He has no other symptoms, no illness signs at all.

The lady from pets at home told me I could and it says on the bottle safe around children

The spots don't itch him or nothing either

WTF. Safe around children doesn't mean spray it on their skin FFS. Besides if your ds had fleas you'd see them. Take him to the doctors. It's probably a normal childhood illness like chicken pox or HFN.

I've sprayed his matress not his skin!
It gets left for 30 mins and then you hoover it.
Same as when you have fleas

Is that not molluscum contagiosum? It's a bit chicken poxy looking, but not as itchy or irritated.

I was thinking this…my GDs both had it….cleared up with treatment

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 28/08/2024 15:19

My son has it I think, only a few spots though so I've not done anything about getting it treated, I doesn't seem to bother him. It was red at first, but not anymore
