Skin Rashes In Children, Aveeno Cream, Eczema ?
My grandaughter is 3 years old & I noticed a severe rash on her legs & buttocks when she came to visit yesterday.....A raised pimply like rash on both of her buttocks..and raised patches on both of her legs..She said it does not itch so we ruled out poison.he She also has a severe raised path on one her her wristes which will not go away...Her father was treating the rash on her wrist as eczema with Aveeno cream as prescribed by her pediatrition, but only sees her every other weekend.....

Hello sir. Your description of the rash suggests it could be id eruption or Henoch-scholein purpura (HSP). Both the conditions have got definitive treatment and it would be advisable to establish the diagnosis after consulting a dermatologist as soon as possible.
The raised patch on her wrist could be dermatitic (eczematic) or fungal infection. The latter is known to precipitate id eruption.
If she has associated joint pain and abdominal pain, then she could be having HSP.
The third possibility that I can think of is papular urticaria but the rash in this condition is invariably itchy.
