What Causes Painful Rashes On Hips And Legs Of A Child?

Hi...it can be an insect bite allergy but at the same time, when there is severe pain it could also be a condition called Henoch Schonlein Purpura. I suggest you upload the photos of the kid in the website or consult your pediatrician with this tip.
