What Causes Rashes Running Down The Shin To The Foot?
My 5 year old has buses running down his shin on to his foot. I m not sure what they are from but they are not going away & it has been several weeks. He is healthy and active but i have noticed a decrease in appetite lately and he seems a little more tired than usual.

Hi...by what you quote it might be -
1. HSP - Henoch Schonlein Purpura. It is a type of vasculitis or inflammation of blood vessels.
2. Urticaria - a type of skin allergy.
As he is otherwise active and healthy you need not worry. But something going on for weeks cannot be ignored.
I suggest you consult with your pediatrician regarding this.
