Should I Meet Doctor For Red Rash On Fore Arms, Cheeks And Legs?

I have a 7 year old son with a red rash on his fore arms, checks, bottom of legs, and a little on neck. The rash is swollen and hot to touch. We gave him Benadryl this morning and no change. He has had his mmr vaccine. Should I take him to the clinic?

Hi.... Sometimes MMR vaccine can cause this type of house minimal measles like Rash after vaccination but you need not worry about this as such immediately. But a physician needs to be consulted because we need to ascertain whether this is a MEasly Rash or not. So I suggest you to see a physician though it is not an emergency.
