My child has a rash that comes and goes?
He had a fever and was sick earlier this week. The Dr said it could be related to the fever/virus. The fever has been since Wednesday. Friday, this rash appeared on his face and hands and knees. It disappeared by the afternoon. Today he has a rash on his bottom, face and knees. The rash on the bottom went away and now he has some on each side in the middle back area. It has bumps that look like mosquito bites...he is not scratching. Have not changed any soaps....he did eat some nuts a couple of days ago......cashews. Has eaten peanuts before and has has no allergic type reaction....Yesterday he seemd to have what looked like a lacy rash on his chest and I thought it might be Fifth's disease....now I am not sure. Anyone have any advice for me? The Dr said it could be related to the virus and to wait until Monday as long as he is otherwise normal....which he is.

Look up Rosiola (I t hink that's how it's spelled) on the internet and see if it looks like that. It's a rash that appears normally a few days after the on set of a fever. I can't recall the treatment, even though I think there is one. I'm not sure if it's a lotion or what. Anyway, hope that helps. Rosiola is also contagious to other children so maybe if he does have that and it's untreated, it could be coming back. My son has really bad excema that causes rashes ALOT and the doctor gave me this steroid lotion to quell it, at least. If the rash is re-occuring, maybe it could be that as well.
