my son has a rash, please help!!

Ok my son is 3 1/2, all his life hes had very very sensitive skin. hes allergic to anything scented, bug sprays, sunblock and even aloe. Usually every summer my son does break out, we never know what causes it. I take him to the dr every time he breaks out uncontrollably. So far our pediatrician has diagnosed him with: Contact dermatitis, poison ivy, poison sumac, heat rash  and chaffing. well we live in florida and its starting to get hot out. my son had a cold for about a week and then broke out. assuming it was chicken pox i called his pedi and asked and they said that the description doesnt sound like chicken pox it sounds like hives. so i brought him in and his pedi lifted his shirt and said "oh its just scabies". Im thinking omg what the hell its JUST SCABIES! So he gives us a script for permethrin or whatever its called and he only gave us enough for one treatment for two people so i called and he said he wasnt giving me anymore cream. at this point im thinking hes just a quack (bc once i took my son in for a spider bite and he said it was mrsa..).i took my son to the ER and they told me it was a mild case of chicken pox and to keep him home for a week, use calamine lotion and he should be better. It was sort of a relief but the paranoid mother in me still thought it was scabies so i gave him the permethrin treatment along with doing it to myself and my husband with what was left. waited the 14 hours before washing it off. i washed every linen, towels, clothing, rug EVERYTHING that we all have come into contact with, steam cleaning the furnitures the carpets, bleaching the tiled areas etc. now my sons rash is WORSE! before he only had it on his stomach and chest and now its all over his body! it looks like the rashes hes had in the past which i treated with a cream called muprocin (sp?)  they are not raised bumps that have burrows or whatever scabies does. it looks like the rash he had when we used mosquito spray on him...i changed drs bc this dr has given me the run around about his rashes since he was 3 months old and he tells me i need to come back in 4-6 weeks if its not gone...with that being said i cant see his new pedi til may 2nd bc thats when our insurance allows us to see a dr after changing...please help me! idk whatelse to do...

Try tea tree oil, get it in a natural food store or natural pharmacy. Go for the highest quality available.

 Try warm baking soda baths daily for a few weeks and keep him very dry  my dr gave me a steroid cream for my daughters eczema because we have major flare ups of that  she had it everywhere and it left scars  i did the baths and steriod cream and it disappeared for a while  not sure what your sons rash is from but if its something similar this may help at least calm it down a bit...the baking soda baths       the cream he gave me is: triamcinolone acetonide .1€ percent for when u are able to go back to drs  it clears my girls rash up in a few days, eczema, diaper rash when she wore them, bites of any kind (we live in the woods)   she is also sooo sensitive to bug sprays etc  im not looking fwd to the heat   good luck  i hope the baths help

Melaleuca specializes in products that replace all the horrific toxins that you use to clean your home - like bleach, and windex, any cleansers you buy in the grocery store. Think about it - you can't even put your household cleaners in the trash because they're considered toxic waste! They are SOOOO poisonous, and they affect all of us in different ways.

By switching to all-natural cleansers, you will alleviate SO MANY health problems with your son! Look at Melaleuca.com and learn about their products. If you're interested to know more, contact me at soul@worldlyvibe.com.

Also - Melaleuca has a product (lotion) called Renew that helps people with eczema to relieve their symptoms - many people have thanked me profusely for introducing them to this product.

I wish you all the best!
