What Causes Red Spots All Over The Body Of A Child?
My 10 year old niece had some red spots appear this morning - they look like gnat bites, raised, red but with yellow heads. They don t itch but do fade when pressed with a glass. More have come up this afternoon, now she has about 20 over her body, arms and legs. She doesn t seem unwell. What could they be?

Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
It might be dermatitis(skin infection). This kind of infection is treated by oral antibiotics and local antiseptic creams.
An antibiogram test is necessary in order to find the needed antibiotic.
A complete blood count, an urine test and leukocyte formula.
Contact a dermatologist to discuss about the diagnosis and treatment.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
