My 4 yr old son has clusters of raised flesh colored bumps on his elbows and knees. They itch him sometimes. I can t tell if the scabby looking thing on some of them are from his scratching, or if they just turn that way. I noticed the bumps a week ago. They are not going away, and they are spreading down his arms and legs. I tried to put hydro cream, but he says that it doesn t help. I was just going to take him to urgent care in the morning, but would like to know if I should or not.
Hi...by what you quote, I feel that it could be a hand foot mouth disease or any other viral exanthem. Please do not use steroid cream (HY Chat Doctor.  If the kid is otherwise active and playful, need not worry about emergency care. But if you can upload an image of the lesions in this website for me, I would be even more glad to guide you more accurately....other option see your doctor as skin conditions are best diagnosed after seeing directly.
