Little bumps- all over! What is this?

22 years ago

Hi All!

Quick question. DD has a little rash on her face, arms, legs, (not too much on back or tummy)and it looks just like baby acne. I've never seen baby acne all over though- and she scratches at her face. DD is 4.5 mos. and Doctor said that it's common for baby to have a few different little skin irritants like this pop up occasionally...Hmmmmm. We use Dreft detergent and I haven't eaten anything really new in my diet (I breastfeed). I just read the peanut butter post and now I'm wondering if it's a form of Eczema or something! :( Can anyone relate and tell me if they've experienced something like this before?

TIA!

Blessings,

Haley

Do they appear soft and fuzzy? When they squish, are they reddish? If so, it may be mealy bug. I've not had them invade my brugs, but they love the oleander. I have to dab pure alcohol on each bug with a Q-tip in order to get rid of them. Spraying does no good at all.

The initials form pretty much where they feel like it. The ones above the soil line can be removed, or will usually wither when they are exposed to air (depending on humidity level).

I had these this year as well. It looked like tiny black coffee grounds covering my lilies. It turned out they were black aphids. I purchased live lady bugs and they ate them up. Good luck!

My guess is tomato horn worm eggs. Google for images. They will hatch and produce very hungry caterpillars which will eat all the leaves. They leave brownish droppings which look like small spheres stuck together and get larger as the caterpillar gets bigger. The eggs were left by a moth which the caterpillar turns into. Knock the eggs off and look under the leaves for the worm(s). They are well camoflauged cause they are nearly the same color green as the plant.
