23 Months Baby, Rash On Left Side Of Body. Two Molars Popping, No Other Issues, Active Baby. Any Ideas?

My 23 month old toddler has a rash on his left side of his body. He has had it for about 6 days. It has been skin color that only started to turn pink today--probably because it is 80 degrees today. I am concerned about what is causing this rash and why it is only on his left. It starts under his armpit and travels all the way down to his left foot. Other than one of his two year molars popping through and a fever of 100--everything seems as usual. He is eating, drinking, pooping, peeing and sleeping fine. We've even started potty training in which he seems eager to learn. He is singing his alphabet, saying more and more words each day. So other than this concerning rash it seems he's on track developmentally.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

It is very difficult to tell you the cause of the rash only on the left side of the body without having a look at it. Even if it was due to the heat then it should have been all over the body. I suggest that you consult your doctor who shall examine the child and guide you.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,
