Pediatrician, Pulmonology ,  's  Response
Hi... by what you say I feel that your kid maybe having very early signs and symptoms of henoch schonlein purpura. This is a sort of systemic vasculitis which can cause red spots on the lower limbs along with tummy pain.

If she is rolling over the bed in severe abdominal pain or red spots on her legs are increasingly palpable, then I suggest you get her back to the Emergency Room immediately.

But skin conditions are usually diagnosed and treated at their best only after seeing them directly. So I suggest you upload an image on this website and then get back to us, so that we can guide you scientifically.
