Nettle type itchy rash on DS's heels and ankles?????

[wheretogo]

DS (3) has developed and itchy rash over heel and ankle area this evening which looks like nettle stings.. though has not been stung by nettles. Any ideas? PLEASE.......

a louse or flea in his sock?

i get this, only in hot weather, sweaty shoes or rubbing shoes cause it.... i put germolene on it, stops the itching. it comes up like little blisters

do you have any aloe vera gel? it will help reduce the rash very quickly.

can get rashes from all sorts of plants... been out for a walk today?

ewe yuk!!!!! we are staying at my mum's who has a dog... time to give her an earbashing????
Hope that is all it is though

Ahhh just got rest of messages... been out walking on beach today, he had new wellies on.. when took them off his feet were v.sweaty.. was about 4 hours ago though.
Thanks

it is not uncommon for children to get a rach like this with a virus.
It is called urticharia. You can give him piriton or medised to help it.
Is he otherwise well.
The only other thing it could possibly be is glove and sock sydrome \link{http://www.drgreene.com/21_654.html\link}
Would see if the antihistamine gets rid of it, you could apply a thin layer of antihistamine cream. if this gets rid of it I would not panick.
Dont be surprised if it comes back in the morning or when he is hot.

careful its not an allergy to the wellies....?latex?

Not sure what they made of.. got them from GAP. He's settled down now hopefully be gone in the morning
