Hard to assess: Rashes can represent systemic illness, reactions to foods, external contact triggers & other agents. The description is not specific enough to suggest a cause. Many of these require an in person exam to sort out.

Parvovirus infection is a common disease that typically has bright red cheeks (the "slapped cheek") appearance. Rashes are very difficult to identify by text missives. If your child is otherwise well, observation is likely all that is needed. If you child begins to show signs of illness, please consult your pediatrician or PCP for evaluation.
