Misdiagnosed

"Hey, it's probably just mosquito bites." Or so did the diagnosis go from our doctor when we mailed her this photo.  However, something didn't look right.  The red dots started around both knees, but then suddenly were on both elbows as well.  Could be mosquitoes' favorite landing spots, but unlikely.  Things rapidly took a turn for the worse with fully inflamed legs and elbows, spreading to neck and ears, so we made a trip to doctor's office.  Turns out it was a viral infection.  Luckily nothing good ole Benadryl couldn't quickly put to rest.  Fortunately he didn't have to attend any beauty pageants for a couple of weeks.
