A few days ago I noticed my 5 1/2 year old s skin was covered with red blotches in kind of a mottled red and white pattern that looks a bit like a two toned ariel map. It appears raised to the eye but I can t feel anything out of the ordinary when I touch her skin. The blotchyness is not unique to either a sun exposed area or an area that would be impact by a detergents, etc. It is on her arms, tummy, rear, and legs. Her face, back, and feet don t seem to be blotchy at all. No itching, pain, exposure to new foods, or environments either... no notable health history to report. I assumed it would pass when I first noticed it but we re going on five days now...
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
