What could be wrong if your 2-year-old has small red raised non-itching rash-pimples scattered on his arms legs hands feet and he finished a fever a week ago after having a virus for 4-5 days?

Answer 1

The rash could be a mild reaction to medication that he's been taking or due to the fever itself. If the rash does not spread, and is not itchy or changing color then it will clear up on it's own. I would not advise using any creams or lotions to treat this unless it does become itchy or worsen. Leave it alone. Also, fevers, colds, and illness in general can deplete certain vitamins and minerals in the body so I would suggest that you pay attention to good nutrition for your child at this time. If the rash becomes itchy or changes then call your pediatrician and have on hand a list of all medications that your child has taken....including anything over the counter. Could be "giannotti crosti" My child had this and it was diagnosed by a dermatologist. It initially develops as a result of a virus.
