My three year old has random rash that looks like scratches on her chest ,stomach and back . they seem to start light and become a red purple color?

Itching in the night: Might just be winter dryness and the scratches from your child's nails. Try to file down her nails and apply lots of moisturizers on the skin especially after bathing. any creams or even cooking oil will do. Kids tend to get very dry skin especially in the winter with the indoor heat. Sometimes they just need extra moisture in the winter.
