What Are The Red Bumps And Fever In A Child?

My 22 month old son has a strange rash. He started out with what looked like a traditional diaper rash this morning in the crease where his legs meet his groin. Looked like a typical diaper rash -- red patchy rash. But when I changed his diaper a couple of hours later, I noticed that he developed these red, pin prick type bumps around his privates. So I put lots of aquaphor. Next diaper change I noticed that he had more red bumps and they were spread all over his groin and making their way up to his belly and tops of his legs/hips. Shortly after is when I discovered it s all over his neck, chest, back, his underarms and on his forehead. It looks like it s slowly spreading down his back to his buttocks. No fever, although his temp was 99 degrees earlier, but has been normal since. He s a little fussy and has green mucuous coming from his nose. He s had the green mucuous for the past two days.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It could be any viral exanthematous illness. But as you quote them as itchy blisters - the possibilities are Hand Foot Mouth disease/ Chicken pox/ any other trivial viral exanthem. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine.

But.....skin conditions are best diagnosed after seeing them directly. I suggest you upload images of your child's skin lesions.

You can approach me at the following link.
