I love using the skills I am learning. Bonnie has text me a few times with medical questions and I love helping her out. Tag had a rash and it took me a few days to figure it out but I finally got it and it was so satisfying. At first I thought impetigo. That spreads quickly and evolves quickly. The next day the rash was the same so I knew it wasn't impetigo. Then I thought it was bed bugs but it didn't quite match everything. Also, I didn't know where we could get that from since we are clean and hadn't stayed anywhere. It wasn't really matching anything else. On the third day I was making dinner and it came to me. He swam in a hot tub for over an hour a few days prior. I researched it out and you can get inflamed or infected hair follicles from long hot tub exposure. It can take a few days for it to show up and it takes a few days to go away. So thankfully he didn't need to go in to the doctor for antibiotics or anything. It can be prevented by taking a shower right after sitting in the hot tub. It was fun playing detective and figuring it out!
