hi, welcome to HCM,
any type of rash is not normal . rashes on lower back and upper butt is common due to Papular urticaria.
it occurs due to insect bite common one is mosquito.
prevention is the best measure.
put your child with full sleeve cloths and mosquito net should be used while sleeping.
apply calamine lotion twice daily.
syp hydroxyzine should be given half TSF at night.
this will resolve your problem.
thanks
