Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. I am sorry about your granddaughters rash. Sight unseen, it is difficult for me to diagnose. Buy based on your deaciption, it sounds like a mild virus caused it. These viruses are harmless. Once they leave the body, the rash appears. The rash usually disappers within 7-10 days, as aeems to be happening in your granddaughters case. As long as she is otherwise well, I wouldnt be concerned.
