NO, WE DID NOT BURN OUR CHILD WITH CIGARETTES! Max had a bunch of bumps scraped off at the dermatologist. This is after 3 days of healing. 
Preprocedure lidocaine cream and cling wrap. Get Max all numbed up for his scraping.
Post procudure icecream always makes things better.
My poor Max attacks has such sensitive skin and has all kinds of problems. He gets eczema really bad and recently he started with all these little bumps on his arms. The doctor told me it was just a viral infection that a lot of kids get and that it would just go away. Well it started spreading to his other arm, leg and torso so I decided to take him to see his dermatologist. She said is was a viral infection but she wanted to take all those little bumps off. So, we got some numbing cream, put it on him and wrapped him in press and stick cling. I wasn't really expecting such an invasive procedure. Max did pretty well until he saw the blood running down his arm. When it was all said and done, he had these little scrapes all over his body and it really looked like we burned him all over with a cigarette. He is heeling up much better now but still looks like we abuse him. Good thing its been long sleeve weather the last couple of days!

Carter has terrible eczema too! He will dig at it until it bleeds. We have so many meds for him, some make it better but none heal it completely!
When talking to Mom about Carter, she was telling me that your dad always had bad eczema and psoriasis when he was little. Obviously with Carter being adopted that's not where he got it but I do know that can be hereditary. Wonder if that is where Max gets the eczema from??
I hope he finds relief soon! Poor little guy! Give him a hug from me! :)
It probably is where he gets it. We have a med that heels his eczema right up but this viral thing just wouldn't go away. I hope he out grows all of his skin issues!
