Hi...the below knee rash of Henoch Schonlein Purpura can be recurrent and once it starts can be there for 6 week also. Unless the kid is having - blood in the stools or blood in urine or severe pain abdomen you need not worry. You consult a general pediatrician with good experience in this field. The skin manifestations and rash doesn't warrant steroid administration.
