Steph, hand to dog, tomorrow was Wear A Superhero Day. I'm cheating because I already am, but I was good for tomorrow too.
Dana hands the prize over to you.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Okay, talk me down for a minute? (Today has been Too Fraught already.)
Ben showed me this rash behind both ears the other day, and I kind of blew it off. Weird, but he has fair FAIR Irish skin (the kind that flushes easily, and burns), and his skin is super sensitive.
Today, the mostly flat rash is developing into small bumps (not zits, though, or hives, more under the skin), and the lymph node on his right side is swollen.
Dr. Google just SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. Any parents with ideas?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Amy, I've had things like that a bunch of times, and usually it goes away on its own.

not your mom's socks.
Amy, is there a minute clinic around? maybe at a Target?
Seconding the Step Away From The Google.

Oh, Benadryl's a good start. Okay.
And yes, stepping away from Google.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Could be a heat rash, maybe?
Let's hope it's not bug related despite ita's wear-a-bug-bite-on-your-neck day.
That sure is one happy looking baby, Nilly.
It's like he knows how lucky he is to have Nilly as a Mom.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Amy, I have that kind of skin too, and that sounds like dermatitis. If it's behind his ears, it could just be caused by sweating a lot in heat and humidity (which always gives me cysts behind my ears). For another anecdata point, I have a friend whose daughter developed a rash around her mouth that sounds similar; it went away after she cut gluten out of the kid's diet. It's probably not serious; drop by a clinic and yeah - step away from Dr. Google.

Steph, hand to dog, tomorrow was Wear A Superhero Day.
I'm trying to not get my hopes up about the Blue Beetle title, since everything else I've read of the reboot is crap. But damn it, it's Blue Beetle.
Oh, Benadryl's a good start. Okay.
Also hydrocortisone cream.
