What Does A Reccuring Rash On Face Of A Child Indicate?

My two year son has a rash that comes and goes with 15mins either shows on his face or right hand side of torso. Has no fever nor has he been sick in last few months. He has been walking with a limp on the right hand side, to the point he is dragging his leg or not wanting to walk or stand at all. We have been to hospital for bloods and X-rays but can t find anything wrong. They have told us to go back in 3 days for possible MRI. Do you have any suggestions on what could be going on. He s not grumpy just really clingy.

Hi...this is suggestive of Struge-Weber syndrome and he will definitely need a MRI brain plain and contrast and I am expecting an anomaly to be picked up on the MRI. He already is dragging his leg and limping winch is a focal neurological deficit.
