Re: 7 month oldFrom: J (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 8 Jun 2000 12:22:03 -0500 (CDT)
So should I take him to an allergy doctor or a skin doctor? It is not bruising because these spots have been there since the first shot at 2 months was given and seems to be getting bigger. Unless bruising can go on this long. I just don't know what this is and it is starting to worry me. I know this is not pregnancy related but there really is now where else I can find any help or info about this. I want to be armed with enough info or suggestions as possible for the doctor on Monday since they have no idea. Once again thank you.
