Pics at 22 months!

Crew's dermatology appt visit notes:
He's got a few different diagnoses. Dermatographia - where you scratch his skin and it immidiately reacts and goes red and raised. Releases histamines so Zyrtec or Benadryl at night. I have to use a certain new laundry detergent and a certain new bath soap.. He's also got something called atopic dermatitis that MAY be allergies from molly.... Why his nose runs and why he coughs. Plus the keratosis pilaris, red bumps that Jaren has on his arms. Amlactic from Costco will help but can be really acidy for face.. They gave me a steroid rx and rx hydrocortisone cream for topical use for extra irritated spots. Aquaphor all over (even his little irritated scrotum. Avoid baby powder) after bath every night. Lotion every morning. He might grow out of this when he's a teen, but if not they can remove the red bumps from his face w laser. People with this condition are less likely to get ance.
