Child Has Raised Spots On Head, Thigh, Buttocks. Disturbed Sleep. What Is This?

hi my 14 month old son has been quite miserable and very clingy for a few days. he is having disturbed sleep too. today at nursery they discovered a few small raised spots on him. he has about 4. two have a head on them. they are one his bum, his inner thigh and the front of his other thigh. he is off his food too. I also seem to have some itchy spots on my lower back which look the same. what could this be?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Your 14mths son is most probably suffering from some viral rash .And at present you also seem to be developing a similar rash then most probably it looks like a chickenpox rash though there is associated fever in this kind of rash .Hand foot mouth disease leads to a lot of ulcers in the mouth so watch out for those in your kid.
I would suggest that you both need to be examined by a doctor for diagnosis of the condition .For the rash you could apply calamine lotion .if it turns out to be the viral rash then these would subside in 10-15 days.

Bye
Take care
