What Is The Cause Of A Skin Rash?
My three-year-old have blister type spots on her toes and red spots below the skin on the bottoms of her feet. She has no other symptoms other than her pediatrician saw her about two weeks ago and said she has a yeast rash on her rear-end. She didn t have anything on her feet at the time. My two-year-old has had some little raised bumps on his legs within the last couple of days. He is also getting a rash on his rear-end, which he didn t have at the time my three-year-old was first diagnosed. What could the rash on the feet be, and are they connected to the rashes on their rear-ends? Thanks.

Hi.
First of all I would like to reassure you that it's a common problem at this age and it's nothing serious. I would like to know if both of them have any ulcers in the mouth or similar blisters over the elbow or any itching. I feel it might be hand foot mouth disease which is common among children especially after they start attending even a play school. It's a self limiting viral illness and does not require any specific treatment. Just good nutritious food with green leaves, vegetables and fruits will help in recovery earlier. It might also recur,still no need to panic. If you have further doubts I would be glad to clarify them.
