My baby has just turned 7 mos and for 1 1/2 - 2 weeks she has had these little flesh colored bumps on her arm. They may be red or pink but her skin is a caramel color so I couldn't tell if I tried. They started on the lower part of her arm on just one side I think. Then they moved to cover a lot of her lower arms and now they're above her elbow. They're small and almost pimple like but it doesn't look pussy at all. I think it may bother her but I'm just not sure. She seems fussier lately but we don't know if it's teething or her want to crawl/move around. I have seen her rub/scratch them once. We took her to the pedi friday but we didn't get to see HER pedi. She said they looked like they were just "chicken skin"- bumps around hair follicles. My husband and I refuse to believe that, it doesn't "fit", you know? Nothing new. I am drinking milk now- i kept off it since pregnancy because i would throw it up. I recently read about an infant staph infection... scary stuff!

Can you help us?
Not that I think it might be a staph infection but who knows! I don't want to wind up w/ something that should have been treated earlier! Like I said- nothing new like detergents, soaps, foods (she had only rice cereal for the first time yesterday) and we did put some sunblock on her for the first time last week but i think it was AFTER the bumps started and it was by Aveeno and we use Aveeno products for her already.
I already saw her pedi (pediatrician/doctor)- see, i wrote it up there in my original question........

i was wondering if anyone could relate any knowledge about this..........???? we''re going BACK to see HER doc.
