What Could Be The Reason For Rashes All Over Torso?
Hello. My daughter is 14 and came up with a prickly looking rash all over her torso. You can see it, but not feel it. Her face, on her cheeks, is very red. Not spotty but more blotchy, and warm to the touch. We have used nothing new. She has put nothing different on her face.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for rashes all over torso in your daughter. There can be multiple possibilities of the red rashes and it requires a close physical examination to diagnose the exact entity of the problem.
In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be allergic dermatitis of the area due to multiple causes.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should avoid contact of dust and sunlight to the area properly. If I were her dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply fluticasone cream. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for twice a day if itching is present.
Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.
All the best
