Hi, My 3-yr old son had a fever of 103 three days ago and has since developed a rash on his torso, starting on his genitals and spreading up the front of his torso. The rash consists of flat pink spots which don t seem to be itchy or sore. He says he feels ok, although his appetite was poor when he had the fever a few days ago. Is this rash likely to be a heat rash as it has been in the 90s here the last few days (but we do have a/c) or could it be connected to the fever. Thanks!
Hi... I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards -
