Here he is on the exam table. He was very good-natured through the whole thing, playing with his little monkey toy.
Here's Thomas's back. Looks pretty bad, huh?
This is the back of his neck, where the rash is the worst.
The nearest the doctor could figure is that this is a reaction to something, though we're not sure what. He just had some immunizations on Tuesday and may be reacting to something dealing with that. Or maybe it was something I ate that he got through the breast milk. Anyway, hopefully it's nothing a little Benadryl won't fix.

Good grief! That doesn't look cool at all. Hope he gets to feeling better soon!
Has he had a fever at all in the last several days? Even a little one? Several childhood rashes start with a slight to medium fever and then have a red bumpy rash. What the rash is depends on where it pops up first. Benedryl will help if it is an allergic reaction to something, but check with the doc first on dosage.
I would be crabby too if I had a rash like that! Hope he gets to feeling better soon.
