Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...this seems like a viral exanthem that is post viral rash or it could also be a herpes infection as it is having burning sensation. I suggest you consult your pediatrician r dermatologist for this. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
