[quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts. First of all, I have found, with my now older child, that pediatricians have almost always misdiagnosed her weird skin phenomena. These have all turned out to be minor issues and easily treated, but I think pediatricians just don't have to learn the broad range of odd skin issues out there. To them, there are a few serious issues that require action, and then there are "bug bites". My daughter had periodic (pre-pubescent) full-body pimply periods beginning when she was 5-ish. The pediatrician said "bug bites" as a default, because that's just what they say when they don't know. A dermatologist said "acneiform eruptions" probably caused by glands that got a little overactive during periods of rapid growth/change, maybe encouraged by dryness or irritating soap. In her case, changing soap, experimenting with moisturizers, and exfoliation with wash cloths helped. [/quote]
