What Causes Blotchy Red Rashes On A 7 Year Old?
Hi I have just noticed a blotchy red rash on my seven year old son all over his body ,& he said it's itchy. He said he had a sore throat yesterday , but seems ok today. He doesn't appear to have a temperature and otherwise seems to be fine, could it just be a heat rash?

Hi...with a sore throat and rash, I would like to consider 2 possibilities -
1. Viral pharyngitis and associated toxic urticaria and rash.
2. Streptococcal pharyngitis with scarlet fever.
I suggest you either upload the images on this website and get back to me or have the kid evaluated by a physician.
