Brief Answer:
Allergic rash

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It seems that your child has developed allergic rashes. It is difficult to comment whether they are due to allergy from food or from some other environmental trigger. You may give some antiallergic like Cetirizine Drops (or possibly better ones like Atarax (hydroxizine) which is a prescription medicine) orally for the next few days. You also need to apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion over those areas.

It might take a few days to recover and so you need to be patient. It is not a cause for concern.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
