My 2 yr old daughter has a light red rash on her arms, face, and legs. It s slightly elevated. She is not scratching the rash or complaining. She does not have a fever. It started on Saturday when I woke her up from her nap. She was sweating hot and I first noticed it on her arms. Should I take her to the doctor ASAP ? Advil and 1/2 tab of benedryl does not effect the rash.
