Patient's question:
Because the child attends boarding school, sending them to school on Sunday didn't lead to this happening again! On Monday noon, they suddenly broke out in a full-body rash! The hospital drew blood and said the allergy level was less than 5 times the normal level! Several classmates in their class have experienced this again too! Will this be contagious?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to be of service to you. Based on your description and the pictures, this situation should be a contact dermatitis reaction. Generally speaking, this is absolutely not contagious. In other words, this is not an infectious issue, but rather an allergic reaction caused by contact. Therefore, it's still important to identify the allergen and address it promptly. It's said that the allergy is below five times, but we need to know what specifically is below five times to clarify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
