How Is Skin Rash And Bruising Treated?
Hi, my son has a rash that was all over his body. The pedi said that it maybe an allergic reaction. I went to the dermatologist and she gave him a steriod cream. But the rash looks almost like its in the skin (kind of like it dirty) . He bruises easy and always feels hot.. He is 2 years old 32 pounds and is 36 inches

Thankyou for this nice and important Question
Brief....highly recommend genetic tests to rule out Wiscot Aldrich syndrome or clotting factor 8 or 9 deficiency..
Detail...as above mentioned diseases are X linked diseases (means transmitted from mother and shows symptoms in male child). female children are usualy asymptomatic...
Wiscot aldrich syndrome can cause these symptoms.. and other cause can be degiciency of clotting factors..As both diseases are genetically transmitted so needs to be evaluated by genetic tests..
For more detail you should visit. an immunologist..
