During a virtual appointment you may upload a photo or review with a HT specialist. There are many reasons that toddlers with viral symptoms develop a rash. Usually the rash self resolves. If your child is taking antibiotics, an allergic reaction to the medication should be considered. Impetigo is a skin infection with a characteristic appearance. Watch for signs of peeling, red eyes and swelling.

Q: I don't know if what is the cause of my very itchy skin, and it become like an mosquito bite that very itchy?

Itchy skin. You did not state if it is just a small area or over your entire body. New medications, laundry detergent, soaps, perfumes, or lotions? Any lesions? Without additional info the best advice is to see your local physician for an evaluation.

Q: Itchy patch of tiny bumps on my butt, the whole patch is the size of a mosquito bite and itches like one but goes away and comes back in the same spot?

More history helpful but sounds like some form of dermatitis; skin inflammation after contact with something to which your body (skin) is overly sensitive. Since it appears from your description to be localized to one place, you might try a combination of topical (skin cream/ointment) Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Hydrocortisone. Let me know how that works... if not affective... we can discuss other options.

Q: I have a rash that comes and goes, they look like scratches and mosquito bites. they don't hurt but are itchy. they disappear and then ease away.

This rash you describe sounds like something called urticaria (hives). Urticaria is caused by histamine release. It can be due to a number of conditions including allergic reactions. Sometimes we don't find a cause for this and it is called idiopathic urticaria, Check with you primary doc and discuss the symptoms further. It is can be treated with antihistamines.
