Rashes On Buttocks And Legs. Henoch-Schonlein. What Can Help This Condition?
Hi, my 20 month old son developed a rash on his buttocks , legs, and feet only and has had it for about 48 hours now. He has no signs of discomfort or itchiness. We just came back from his doctor..he diagnosed it as Henoch-Schonlein pupura and checked his urine for any abnormalities (which they were none). My question is just to get a second opinion from you.
