My child has a skin rash?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Children skin rash: It is difficult to make a diagnosis for skin rash without a picture. Generally a skin rash with no fever is more benign than one with fever which could indicate invasive bacterial infection. The timing is also important. Is the rash followed a recent illness? Is there any other symtoms like itching, oozing? Is there any history of travel or contact with foreign substances ( poison oaks e.g).
