Has she been near any hog weed? That can cause a reaction like that. Hope she is feeling better soon

Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 00:54

Looks like hogweed. Was she near any plants?-

Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 00:56

If the sap gets on your skin it can react to sunlight. Dh had it. Very painful.

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 00:58

i dont know what that is? how long would it take to show as she wasnt playing out yesterday all day it was raining?

OP posts:
Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 01:04

When I googled it seems to happen between 15 minutes and 48 hours.

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 01:04

ok so just googled hogweed and she hasnt been around anything like that.

Was she in contact with any plants in the last couple of days? Just brushing past it is enough to cause problems.

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 01:08

this is her hand now

There is a something called bullous impetigo which presents as blisters to start with and then turns to weeping sores before scabbing.

Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 01:15

I don't think the plant looks particularly unusual. When dh was in contact with it he was just doing some gardening, tidying up a rough part of the garden. It just looked like regular weeds.

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 01:17

is it dangerous?

OP posts:
Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 01:21

I'm not sure. Dh only had a small patch and it took ages to heal. It definitely needs medical attention.

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 01:24

gp didnt seem very good at hosp today since he changed his mind when i pointed out she had no other symptoms agter already telling him that? this was at 5pm took her to a differant hosp at 9pm due to it worsening but i ds is nearly 2 and was unbelievable cranky. both usually asleep for 8 and after waiting for an hour they said waiting was 3+hrs so would have only being seen now-ish so had to go

Hand foot and mouth

Sorry to read and run. Google it

Puffycat · 04/06/2018 01:29

Hey OP. I’m sorry I don’t know what it is but it certainly looks like some form of contact dermatitis ie DD has come into contact with something, a plant, a chemical that has caused this reaction.
I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, should be gone in a couple of days.
As long as she’s well in every other way, no temperature, not feeling like shite, I reckon you don’t need to worry.
That said, I’m no doctor!

Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 01:29

I'd let her sleep if she seems ok and take her in first thing to be seen.
Definitely mention hogweed to the doctor.

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 01:31

she is well in every other way im defo getting her emrg appt at her gp first thing. never seen anything like this before

Pinkkahori · 04/06/2018 01:34

lenaconnors1 · 04/06/2018 01:36
