Matthew has sadly always been our health problem child. He has several health issues that we relate back to his prematurity as well as others that we believe are genetic. I noticed a large red spot on his lower back a couple of months ago. I figured it was a dry spot due to the cold weather, but right before Christmas, it spread like crazy all over his body. Both my brother and Jeremy's sister have Psoriasis so we were thinking that it could be that, but neither the doctor or nurse practitioner would confirm it today when I took him in. Tonight, I did some research online and his symptoms and rash pattern sound just like "Pityriasis Rosea." It is often confused with Psoriasis, but it is not chronic. We are praying that it's just Pityriasis Rosea!!! I'm taking him to the dermatologist on the 24th, so we will know more then. :)
