Question: We're a family of four, my husband, our two boys and I. Our two boys both had a little cold virus last week. The older boy, age 6 came down with a secondary bacterial infection in his eye after taking him to the Opthamologist as it's happened before. He's been on antibiotic drops. Then the baby came down with ear infection in both ears and his eyes were getting a little gooky too. Pediatrician put him on 10 day antibiotics to clear up his ears and said eyes would clear along with it. Then the husband picked up the cold virus and the subsequent bacterial eye infection. Then there's me, cleaning everything in site! My eyes started to get scratchy feeling and watery. Went to eye dr and she said mine looks like an allergic reaction to something, maybe my cleaner I'm using. I use Clorox wipes on everything! Now, all the boys eyes are clearing and doing well. To add I had a hair color apt on Saturday, my scalp often itches after for a week or so, probably from the bleach color she uses I assume. So, this morning I wake up with a random rash, itchy bumps behind my left ear, on the nape of my neck, a little around my shoulder cuff and front of neck/chest and I feel it down middle of my back but I don't see it there. It's small/med red spots in those areas, itchy and burning feeling, but not warm to the touch. I'm prone to getting heat rash and I wore a huge bulky sweater yesterday as it was in the 40's, but these red spots look a bit larger than in past. I don't know. Could it be my body fighting off a virus? I'm reading about the location of these bumps and everything says lice or bed bugs, that freaks me out. Noone else has anything like that right now in the house. It must be heat rash right I'm hoping? Help? Thanks!

Thanks so much Dr for your response. I really think it may be an allergic reaction to something. It's still very itchy, but the appearance seems to be slightly less red and bright tonight. Also, my husband just found a tiny little down feather on the couch from one of our pillows that I hadn't realized. I had a past reaction to down feathers years ago. That could be it! I'm nursing a baby, so I've not been taking any Benadryl or other meds. My mom suggested Witch XXXXXXX for the heat rash in past, so my husband has been helping me keep it clean and cool with witch XXXXXXX Hopefully that doesn't make it worse. Thanks for your thoughts on the lice and bedbugs, sounds great. I figure if it were, my family would see symptoms as well. I tried combing out my hair carefully this afternoon and again this evening just to see if anything, and there is nothing there. Clear!
Attached are a few photos we just took in case that helps. Thanks again for your help!XXXXX
