What Causes Rash On Trunk Area With No Fever In Children?
Question: I need a second opinion on my 23 month old who has had a rash for 8 days no fever no cold she does not act like it's bothering her or hurting her. The rash is mainly on her trunk area and they're small red 10.. That extend over her bum and private area and at times you can see bigger red spots on her legs feet and face. This is the best picture I could getthis is the best picture I can get I do not believe this found anything like hand foot and mouth disease
Brief Answer:
Rash
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question and looked at the picture.
The rash appears to be something she reacted to. this could be something she ingested or came in contact with, like a soap or detergent. Typically this type of rash can spread or migrate. They can be itchy though often, as in this case, they are not. They are not infectious.
Usually, these rashes resolve on their own after 1-2 weeks. If this happens, no further action is needed. No investigation into the cause is necessary. If, however,
the rash persists beyond 2 weeks, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
