Having Rash On Inner Leg, With Tiny Black Spot In Middle And Spreading. Tried Creams And Oils. What Is This?

default
Posted on Wed, 26 Jun 2013
Question: My son came home from daycare and has a rash that started on his inner lower left leg. First, I thought he may have gotten into poison ivy/oak. The rash is actually little bumps and I see a tiny black dot in the middle of some. They are spreading up the leg to his inner thigh. I have tried creams and oils. They are not working. I also, notice them starting to appear on his chin. What is this?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
I saw the picture that you uploaded, but unfortunately the clarity of the picture is not enough to see any sort of rash. If possible kindly upload a close up of the rash with better clarity.
I need some details as well.
How many days back the rash started ?
Is it itchy or painful ?
Is it red colored or skin colored ?
What were the creams which you tried ?
Any idea whether day care has mosquitoes or other insects which can bite ?

Waiting to hear from you.
Take care
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
