Hello dear!
A picture of the rash will help me more in diagnosing the condition.
In the absence of fever it can be allergic rash/urticaria.
It can be the start of measles if she is having watery eyes and runny nose with this.It can be viral exanthem.
No need to worry,it will settle on its own.
Give him syp. levocetrizine 2 ml at night for 1 week.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
