Baffled - Skin Problems Message Board

texasmommy · 06-09-2004, 07:33 AM

My son who is 5 has a condition that no one has been able to diagnose. He has blisters on his hands and feet. They fill with pus and blood, pop open and scab over. Then the skin starts to peel. He is currently on antibiotics for infection. He has been to a dermatologist and a GP. They are both baffled. He has been refered to a pediatric dermatologist, but the appointment is down the road. I have started a picture diary of this. I have done research on the "net" but have come up empty handed. Has anyone else had this problem? I might also mention, he is autistic. I don't know if that plays a role or not.

Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

This may be way off, but it's worth a shot. I saw a girl on TV yesterday who is allergic to water. When water touches her, she immediately develops blisters whenever the water touched her. Could it be an allergy?
