Spots!

I think I am a fairly healthy person (I write this even as I am suffering from a cold and feel terrible.) I had allergies and asthma as a child. And back problems. And lots of sprains. But, somehow I didn't feel like I was sick alot. As I have had children, it is amazing how they not only have my genes, but also my husband's! They look like him, and they get sick like him!! It is amazing!

I mention this because my husband has skin problems (dry, scabby areas on his hands and wrist). And my kids have caught it! Several years ago Miss Perfect broke out in hives. They were mostly on her face, and she got them several times. After a few trips to the doctor she was diagnosed with benign hives and told there was absolutely no cause, nor any reason to worry. Explorer might have rosacea. His cheeks get red and infected looking for no reason at all and are very dry. Miss Perfect is always itchy, and asks for "itching lotion" every night before bed. And now....

Golden Girl has broken out in a rash. It is all over her arms, which caused me to think it was poison ivy or something, because (on May 15th) it is finally nice enought for her to climb around in the back yard. But she also has it on her tummy and back, beneath her shirt. So, that made me think heat rash (in 70 degree weather) but the arms are really strange for a heat rash. So, I have no good explanation. Suggestions?
