We've got the eczema or the hives!?

It came on pretty sudden about 2 weeks ago....and we can't quite figure out why. My first thought was a couple bites of ice cream he had....or a small binge of peanut butter sandwiches I had:)  But the doc didn't think so.  Then it sort of went away...and now comes and goes with no real rhyme or reason.  It's worse when we go outside or he's hot. Then one night I decided to try some mac n cheese ( he LOVED it)...I didn't look at his back before he ate it. Oops. But I posted this picture on fb and everyone jumped on the MSPI bandwagon.  After talking to a nurse at our Ped office we're not quite ready to go that route so fast...and she said not to rock our world with diet restrictions and all that just yet.  Maybe no more dairy table food for now and wait and see what happens.

I'm just not so sure on the MSPI. I feel like we would have had other symptoms, sooner and just more than only the eczema.  Sometimes I wonder if it's hives too!?  This is all so confusing.  None of it seems to phase him though so that's a blessing.  The only thing that seems to be bugging him is allergy like symptoms. Itchy eyes (he has those dark circles) and runny nose, etc. But don't we ALWAYS have a runny nose!?:)

Here's a few more pictures of the little dude and his rash...

Yesterday when I picked him up from daycare he was a rashy mess. All over, bright red, even some pin dot looking redness and new ones on his legs.  Good thing I had just gone to Target and spent $100 on lotions and potions. I tried a little bit of everything last night and this morning...he was totally clear. This is such a mystery.

(this morning totally clear)
