His whole body was covered with red raised bumps. 
I took him into the doctor and she informed me that he is allergic to amoxicillin, the antibiotic we've been giving him for his ear infection. Great. So now he's taking a steroid and antihistimine for his allergic reaction.
It helps that he's been perfectly sweet all week. His skin looks so sad but it doesn't seem to bother him one bit. It's a little better today but still not gone. Poor little speckled boy.

OH MY GOSH!!! glad to know at least he feels okay even if it looks so sad.
we've had rashes like that and I always feel so helpless! i'm so glad it doesn't seem to itch or drive him crazy... good you found an answer!!
He looks so happy in that first picture. You'd never know he had an ear-infection and a terrible rash. Poor guy, but what a good sport. Have the spots started going away? Hope he's feeling better!
Clara had the same thing this summer. She wasn't cranky so our doctor said it was a reaction, but not an allergic reaction. I still don't believe them because it looks scary! It took 2 weeks to clear up too after we stopped giving her the medicine! I hope his clears up faster!
As cute as ever...speckles and all!!!
It's actually really good to know it's so common!
oh my goodness. he is the sweetest thing. i can't believe that it doesn't even bother him. but then again i can because that's how happy-go-lucky tate runs.
