My 9 year old was seen by a Dr. yesterday for an upper resp. infection. She had small dark not red dots on her bottom left rib cage. It looked like the beginning of a strep rash.I was just puttting lotion on her and now the bottom rib is swollen and she said last night the ache woke her up. Any suggestions?? THanks Alot
Hello, It could be a streptococcal rash, or as there is rib swelling along with rash, it could be an underlying bone abnormality also. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you upload photographs of the same on this website so that I can guide you scientifically.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
