Suggest Treatment For Small Red Spots On The Neck And Earlobe

My 11 year old son woke up yesterday with purple marks on his ear lobe. (Almost looks like he was pinched, but is not in line or a form that looks it could ve been caused by pinching.) It was not there when he went to bed. He also had a random red spot come up on the back of his neck (a couple days ago) that was itchy and now almost looks like burn now and has had diarrhea all day today along with joint pain. Any ideas what could cause this? Possible virus even though no fever?

hi. I have read your question and understand your concern.

diarrhea, joint pains and rash can be all be symptoms of viral infection. fever may not be present as of now. viral rashes typically start from face then trunk and then extremities.

you don't need to worry for rash per se. I suggest you meet a paediatrician and get him examined for viral infection.

hope this helps. for any further queries please get back to us. thanks.
