Hello
It seems from the history that your grandson is having tick bites following the appearance of rash.
This is probably petechial rash and it indicates small pin point hemorrhgaes usually seen in conditions associated with decreased platelet count.
The petechial rash appears typically red dot like spots.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for investigations to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
