Mica has some weirdness going on with his skin. Surprise not really. It seems like the boys always have some skin thing going on. We've had Ring Worm from the mats at the Y, warts, rashes all over from something outside, rashes from mud at camp, eczema, Isaak has a birthmark on his spine which is a big deal apparently and more.
Here's Mica's newest weird thing (see pictures below). It's a brown blotting, discolored skin. It's flat. He wasn't born with it. It doesn't bother him. It started out on his arm, and now is below his ear. I emailed pictures to his doctor, and they wanted the boys to come in. We skipped their last yearly well check. I thought it was dirt, and was trying to wash it off. It's not going anywhere.
It's kind of like how dark skinned people can get Vitiligo, but the opposite. It really looks the most like Melasma. Melasma usually forms on the face on women that are pregnant. Have you ever had a random oddity happen with your skin?
I think the boys do have a good mix of both you and Travis in them. I think Mariah looks like Jason and Allison is my mini-me.
ReplyDeleteMy skin has always been fine, but last year I started getting these weird patches all over my skin. I was worried it was lupus because I read that can be a side affect of the biologics I have to have. Thankfully, that test came back negative. My doctor prescribed some cream for eczema, and while it hasn't healed it, it has reduced some of the inflammation. Good luck finding out what those brown splotches are!
I haven't had anything happen with my skin that I can think of, outside of a little dot that's raised but not a mole on my thigh. It's been there for so many years, I'd forgotten about it until I read this post. I hope you find out what his patches are. I think your oldest looks a lot like your husband's sister! :)
ReplyDeleteI've some dark spots on my cheeks that I had to laser off.. they won't go away naturally and even then, I've been told that they will likely return. I think they were sun spots?
ReplyDeleteLiving in tropical Singapore now, I do miss having cold winter days.. although I'm sure you must be sick of it already haha. Stay warm and safe!
I love to see your and Travis' photos ..and the kids are really the mixed of your two!
