Do you know about Mastocytosis? Does your LO has it?

Hi ladies. I wanted to share with you all something that might help other mommies out there. Yesterday we went to see a dermatologist for my LO because he has this dark spots everywhere in his body since he was 2 weeks old. The doctor checked him and found out that he has a mild skin condition called "Mastocytosis". For those of you that don't know what that is I'll add a link to give you more details, but it means that his skin is allergic to different things like: morphine, Advil pain killers, skin products with perfume, some foods as well.. To name a few. He might outgrow it by the age of 10 years old, but will have to keep an eye on him to make sure he understands and avoids this things to keep him safe and healthy. This is a long post but thought I would share our discovery.. Might help other babies too. Thank you! Hugs!

  • Oh goodness. I sincerely hope that he doesn't develop the level of a friend of mine's daughter has.
