Some kind of allergy
Hi doctor's
My son is 4 year old. He got some kind of allergy in his back.
I can see it only on dim light.
I can see clearly when i squeeze his skin a little.
It looks like a patches with his skin color ( which makes it difficult for others to see).
It started spreading to his tummy and hip area.
He has a lot of it. But no itchiness.
Its been more than 3 weeks, still there.
He is not in medication and don't have any illness or allergies, no fever or any other symptoms.
We consult doctor and prescribed creams are not working. I am worried it may be symptoms of some other illness.
