MissRhianL 70 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 dont worry about this, this can be caused by nettles and also running through dirt or dirty water, this is why its handy to have a tube of sudocream handy, its cheap and does the job. it wil clear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mandog 36 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Mine gets it when running through brambles. Like have a teenager around. I have found that giving it a good wash first with antibacterial soap, then put on bepanthem works better than sudocrem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check if he's got them in his ears as well, mine were really swollen as his ears got infected, but with anti biotics and ear drops he was fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
