Suggest Treatment For Rashes Look Like Veins In Hand

My 6 year old son has developed a rash that looks like veins on his hands. He had a rash on his arms and legs last week as well, but they looked more blotchy. He doesn t have a fever and hasn t had one since he started developing the rash. He says the current one itches and the ones he had last week also itched. Not sure what it is or what I should do. Should I be worried and take him to Urgent Care or wait until Monday when the doctors office opens up.

Hi,

The rash could be a telangiectasia (dilatation of veins). But it could be any other vascular anomaly. If he does not have fever or any toxic symptoms, you can consult your doctor on Monday. You could take an over the counter antihistamine tablet, if the itch is severe.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
