my 9 yr old daughter has red, hot to the touch, tiny pimp-ly rash on her face, chin, inside both elbows and outsides of both ankles. rash is itchy on extremeties and chin but not on cheeks or forehead. She woke up with low grade fever of 100 deg. I m treating rash with Benadryl cream and fever with Tylenol. Rash has little or no response to Benadryl cream. Should she be seen by a Dr.?
Hi... I feel that this could be a Hand-Foot-Mouth disease. It might be contagious to kids. I suggest you see your pediatrician and get an anti-allergic prescribed as this is the only medicine required, and this condition is usually self limiting. There might be a skin peeling in some kids as late of 4-6 weeks too. But better see a pediatrician now. Regards -
