Hi.. can you describe the nature of the rash? Where did the rash first begin? Did it occur before or after fever ? Is there history of repeated episodes?Has the.child completed immunization as per date? This presentation can be due to viral exanthem. If the child is doing well and the rash is subsiding then you need not worry. Anytime you find that the rash is not subsiding or is progressive then do visit your pediatrician.
