After that she is continuously getting red patches below her knees in legs as well as the arms it just comes & disappears on its own there is no pain or itching. Doctor please advice what could be the reason & whom should I consult
Hi...the below knee rash of Enoch Schooling Purpura can be recurrent and once it starts can be there for 6 weeks also. Unless the kid is having - blood in the stools or blood in urine or severe pain abdomen you need not worry. You consult a general pediatrician with good experience in this field. The skin manifestations and rash doesn't warrant steroid administration. Regards -
