the rash

well, that mean dermatologist should be thanking me now. it turned out my kid had an extremely rare fatal fungal infection. in fact, it's so rare, they're still not absolutely sure which species of fungus it was and every old skool wrinkled up dermatologist came to look at this 2x3 rash because they'd never seen it before and they'd probably never see it again. there's like a handful of these cases reported in immunocompetent patients and my little kiddo got it and if that dermatologist is motivated enough, he could even write it up and get published.
