I have been getting red patches on my face and neck that look like sunburn. There is no swelling or bumps. But lately they've been getting more red and prominent — especially around the neck. What might cause this?
My daughter is almost 5 years old, and she already perspires with an odor. She's very active. But I wash her underarm area very well, morning and night. Should she be wearing deodorant? What else can I do?
My 9-month-old son was accidentally vaccinated twice for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis b, polio and pneumococcal conjugate. Should I be concerned?
My son is almost 8 years old. He has recently shown some early signs of puberty. Bone x-rays showed advanced bone age of 9 years. Lab results for hormones were normal. Is this true precocious puberty? How often does this happen in boys? Does this mean he will progress rapidly through puberty if he is not treated with medications? What are our options?
My daughter is 10 years old. About a month ago, I noticed that she had had five or six bald spots on her scalp. Some are small, while others are big. What could cause this and what treatment is available? She eats a balanced diet and appears to be healthy.
