Brief Answer:
Probably related to the stomach bug he had especially if it were a virus!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this rash that your son has. I have reviewed his information fully and the symptoms are typical of a rash following a viral infection of the digestive tract. This generally requires no specific treatment and resolution is often spontaneous. There would be no need to panic or rush to the hospital just for this at this time.

To make sure I am not missing out on anything more concerning, I will suggest that you upload an image for review. As soon as the image comes in, I will provide final insights and recommendations about this.

I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. I wish your son a speedy recovery.

Brief Answer:
There is no resin to get too worried at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the images. This is typical of a virus. It would clear all by itself. There is no need for any further medical attention. I will recommend you provide tylenol at appropriate doses every 6-8hours as recommended by the physician.

Above all, let him eat well, drink enough fluids and all would be fine.

In any worries, please talk to me.
