Hi
Since your son has been diagnosed with a viral rash ,I would like to tell you that viral rashes usually follow their own course and they may take some time to completely heal .
They can present with reddish itchy rash over the body but in most cases no treatment is required .
oral antihistamines can be given to relieve itching.
