Diana has legendary allergies. I'm allergic only to a handful of things (mostly chemical substances), but when I react, it's bad. I also found out last year that I'm apparently allergic to tree nuts. You can only imagine the worry that if it's hereditary, Simon is screwed.
Last night he seemed to be breaking out from something on his belly. I wondered if maybe it was the cleaner used on his bath seat (Diana sanitized it after he poo'd in the bath), but I don't remember if he had it on him when he got in. Then today it seemed to get worse and spread up his chest a little. The only thing new he's had in terms of food was some kind of cream of chicken or something, which included mushrooms, though he didn't eat the fungus himself. Naturally, this all caused minor concern.
The doctor doesn't think it's a food allergy because of the way it presented itself. We lubed him up with some hydrocortisone, and that seems to help. I hope it's not a food issue, but regardless, he's not even a year old. I'd hate to see him suffering from this kind of thing already.
