Rashes All Over Body. Wore New Dress, Used Borrowed Steam Inhaler, Used Asthalin. Can They Cause Rashes?

Hi, My kid has suddenly developed rashes all over body (small red dots) yesterday they were small but by today evening they spread all over body
the main causes what we think could be 1. she had a new dress on Friday and we saw the skin rashes from next day evening
2. on Friday we used steam inhaler (used by our neighbor children, we have changed water and vicks bottle though)
3. we used asthalin for her lungs (she had a history of asthma before and we used to put her under albuterol sometimes)
my question is does steam inhaler or asthalin (for that matter any albuterol or anything) cause skin rashes?
Note: we checked with her one of the skin specialist today (but forgot to mention last 2 points related to asthalin and steam inhaler)
