Suggest Bumps In Collar Bone
I have a child that has broken out in small bumps in between her collar bone area and on her sides a little. Its a very light rash and they itch. At work another woman said her son had the same rash in the same areas. Is this a coincidence or something to be concerned with?

Hi! this is not co-incidental and possibly related! As per my experience, I have seen some community infections that often infect children...
In fact, some infections are contagious or community-based and in such cases of itchy skin rashes, I must consider some possibilities like:
1. fungal infection like ring worm
2. viral exanthem
3. parasitic or worm infestations
4. co-incidental skin infections, bites, folliculitis etc..
Therefore please se a dermatologist for a close and detailed examination and opinion regarding treatment if needed...
