Hi my 4 year old has the same little bumps on his elbows and now it has made it to his wrist. almost like goose bumps? He says they are a little itchy. My mom says heat rash but that usually goes away right? Oh does anyone use Fabreze? Because I just recently started using it. Can anyone corroborate?

When I was little I had tht. It's fine. It will eventually peel, and things will be back to normal. No worries!

Hello! Interesing....my 2 1/2 year old son just developed the same thing! The Dr. had no answers for me as well, thought maybe it was a reaction to something, called it dermititis of some sort. The bumps are still there after about 5 days...wish I could get some answers!

It's a rash called Coxsackie. Benadryl helps a lot for the itching but it cannot be treated. It will, however, go away on it's own. It is very common in little children. No worries! :)
