What Causes Rashes On Leg?

My 9 year old daughter developed a rash on her leg yesterday that looks like a hickey. It is asymptomatic and appeared spontaneously without cause. Another rash appeared on the same leg today. It really does look like a hickey. Should I be concerned? What could it be?

Hi..it could be a hives or urticaria if it is itchy. If it is not itchy and is palpable, it could also be a henoch schonlein purpura. I suggest you give a dose of antihistamine if you have one at home according to the on pack instructions. If not I suggest you take her to her physician and get her examined.
