A member asked:

A skin rash that feels like sand paper on my 3 yr old daughter and has no distinct color.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilities: If the child has fever & this started around the genitals & armpits it could be the rash of strep. If home bound in a poorly humidified space it could be dry skin.If you are using a new bath soap or shampoo, this could be a minor reaction. You can probably just monitor the issue unless there is a fever, then i would have her seen soon.
