Kayson - Viral Rash = Folliculitis Rash

I can't make this shit up. 

Kayson has been hit again with something...  we are thinking a viral rash, which has taken over his body and his face.  Last Thursday, he was more tired than normal, then Friday he stayed home from school - complaining of just achy body and a low fever.  The fever really didn't last long at all.  He rested and seemed ok Friday night. 

Saturday he woke with what looked like a pimple breakout all over his face.  I didn't think anything of it actually...  then he changed his clothes, and the bumps were all over his stomach/chest and back. They really look like pimples all over. He was so bothered.  He wasn't feeling all that great - no more fever, but definitely not himself.  I just felt so bad... Kid can't catch a break. 

So we skipped out on basketball.  He rested most of the day Saturday, but by Sunday he seemed ok.  He said he wasn't achy anymore, just tired.  

We talked with Tricia - sent her pictures and her doctor thinks it's a form of a viral bacteria - something called viral exanthem.  We've sent pictures to our doctor too.  Unsure what will come of this - more to come, but as of now Kayson doesn't look good...  and he's less than thrilled. I feel so bad for him. 

He's always had such good skin...  now I'm worried these will leave marks.  :(


UDPATE - Ryan took K to the doctor Monday afternoon...  results are he has folliculitis.  Basically a skin irritation that's full of bacteria.  STUPID!  He will be put on an antibiotic (but the antibiotic is out of stock!)  

His skin is looking a little better, but still not great.  He has some big spots on his face and back...  gosh I pray they clear up with the medicine.  Poor kid.
