What Do Rashes On The Body And Face Indicate?
My six-year-old son has a rash on his upper body and face. Little tiny bumps covering his chest slightly red but mostly colorless. He says they itch a little but mostly don't seem to bother him. No fever or other symptoms. Could this be allergic reaction to something?
Thank you

Hello,
Rashes with bumps on the body with itching with no signs of fever can be most probably due to allergic reaction. If there is associated fever then it can be due to viral infection.
So, my suggestion is to consult a Child Specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and a blood culture can be done for confirmation.
If there is itching, you can give him Benadryl and apply cold compresses over the rashes. You can also apply Calamine lotion for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
