RASH: One of my profs. In med school used to say, "there are 65 different causes of rash, start telling, .... I am counting"! common causes: different viral infections, allergy, insect bites, eczema, poison ivy/oak/ sumak, food allergies, immune diseases, etc, etc, etc. Most of rashes itch more at night, particularly scabies. Let her pediatrician have a good look and find the cause and treat.
