Q: Rash Associated With Stomach Ache And Diareah

I have an 8 year old daughter who has suffered a rash in her mid thighs for the last "4" years. We have been to several doctors, dermatologist, had a skin prick for allergies on her back, ect. Well now the rash is getting worse and going down her legs even more. But now when it flares up it is associated with stomach pain and diareah along with waking up in the middle of the night complaining with it, irritability,and tiredness. The last doctor we went to I suggested we do an immino blood test and he laughed at me and told me to give her pepcid once a day and sent me home with again more cream. I know that she is allergic to dairy products and buy soy milks and cheeses, ect. But something has got to be triggering this especially when she is on a strict diet. Somebody please give me a clue here!! Crying or Very sad

First i'd look for a decent dr - one who'll check your daughter out thoroughly until the problem is found & solved.

Second though you could go to a search engine & look up each of her symptoms till you find medical conditions that seem to fit.

Third, you might want to restrict her diet further for a couple of weeks then gradually re-introduce foods one at a time several days apart & see if there's any changes.

Fourth, some of the symptoms like waking up stomache pains/diarrhoea etc could be related to stress over all this.

Last & i'm sorry for raising this spectre but is there any chance at all that someone (male/female, family, friend, teacher anyone) might be sexually assaulting her? The rash could have been caused by it starting as touching or "coming" between her legs & then as the abuse worsened so did the symptoms. I really hate suggesting this possibility but I have worked in this field so do have some knowledge of possible symptoms. But before you go out & kill anyone, these symptoms could also be caused by other things, including stress etc. Maybe take her to see a child counsellor/psychologist/psychiatrist??

My prayers are with you both.
