What Causes Rash On Elbows,lower Back And Buttocks With Pain In Leg?
My three year old son has a rash on his elbows, lower back and on his buttocks, front and back of his legs. He has complained of leg pain in one leg and it s been around his calf muscle. There has been no fever and his diet and sleep habits have been normal.

an image of the rash is very helpful in diagnosis , but putting all your description together : rash on lower back , lower limbs and arthralgia urge me to ask: is this skin rash palpable ? can you feel it ? if put your fingers around a spot and move your fingers from each other , does it blanch or go away ?
any previous cold or a runny nose in the past 2 weeks?
if this rash doesn't blanch , and you can feel it , if it was associated with abdominal pain then there is a chance that your child has HSP ( henoch schonlein purpura ) and you should refer him to his pediatrician to order some tests .
I hope this helps
