<human>: I noticed numerous welts on the legs of my 12 month son. It appears as though he got pinched by toys. They are slightly raised appearing to be white/ skin color. They will appear then quickly disappear. I thought maybe he was having an allergic reaction to something he had eaten, but these episodes are happening at anytime in the day. Any ideas on what it could be?
<bot>: HI...this doesn't look like food allergy. This looks like urticaria. By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Regards -
