Question 1

my child a little bumps all over legs?

Accepted Answer

Start with a photo: The majority of childrens rashes are viral. A quick visit to your child's doctor could certainly prevent a lot of worry.  Rashes with fevers should be seen.  Red or purple rashes that don't blanch (go away with pressure),  are more worrisome and deserve an exam urgently.

Question 2

as a child i was told that bumps my legs were caused by over reproductive skin cells n wen i wear pants it flairs up what is this n y does it do that?

Accepted Answer

Bumps on legs: People with sensitive, dry skin often have dryness in the hair follicles as well.  That results in tiny red bumps on backs of arms and on legs that feels like sandpaper.  That is keratosis pilaris (kp), which can be exacerbated by friction, such as from pants or shaving.  Scrubbing kp can actually make it worse.  Moisturizers, especially those containing a small amt of Alpha hydroxy acid may help.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

See doctor: When she has the spots to diagnose it. Could be an allergy, contact dermatitis, other dermatitis or other cause.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

No: I would guess he had the most contact in his mouth area. Continued contact could result in the rash spreading...

Question 5

rash on my child small red bumps little patchs   on neck arms hands torso legs

Accepted Answer

This : This is one of those situations where "a picture is worth a thousand words"--really needs to be seen by a medical professional.  Eczema is common in children and can occur on trunk and extremities.  Topical moisture with heavier, cream-type moisturizers is best for eczema.  If it does not resolve, it may require topical prescription medication.  But a quick "eyeball" visit will clarify the issue.

Question 6

recently developed painless red bumps on my torso. a few here and there on my arms and legs. vaccinated for mmr, had chicken pox as a child.

Accepted Answer

Hard to assess: The description is too vague for a reasoned response. Most skin issues require visual inspection to begin the process of identifying a cause. This site does not allow us to see any uploaded pictures so if it continues you will need to have someone examine them.
