What Is The Warm Rash On The Cheek?

My two yr old developed a rash on his right cheek and a few spots on the back of his neck after dinner tonight. I can t think of anything he had that he hasn t before. He s been waking throughout the night and he s complaining of being hot, but he feels cool and clammy. Should I worry?

Hi,

The rash could be a viral exanthem. But, there are many other differential diagnoses.

You could apply Calamine lotion for soothing effect. But, you should visit your Dermatologist as soon as possible for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
