What Causes Itchy Spots On The Legs And Face?

My 19 month old son is blocked up with cold like symptoms however he also has spots on his legs face and a couple on his torso. The spots seem to be itchy and look a bit like bites and are red. Are these linked to the cold or could it be something else? Also I m 35 weeks pregnant so hope he s not contagious.

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
The rash could be viral in nature associated with cold.
But it could also be varicella which can be harmful to you as you are in 35 weeks gestation.
It could be contagious.
Send us some pictures to help us identify better.
Regards
Dr Arun
