5 Year Child Having Rashes On Stomach And Legs. Looking Like Lumps. No Medical History. Concerned

Thanks for your query.
I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.
It will be great if you mention is there any history of allergies like has he come across something that he usually won't , while playing or have you recently changed his soap / shampoo or powder that might be responsible.
your symptoms are suggestive of contact dermatitis, a itchy rash caused by things your skin touches, such as: cosmetics, soaps, and detergents, dyes and other chemicals in clothing, rubber gloves, shampoos, antibiotics such as neomycin rubbed on the surface of the skin or any plants.
Treatment includes washing with lots of water to remove any traces of the irritant that may remain on the skin. You should avoid further exposure to known irritants or allergens. In some cases, the best treatment is to do nothing to the area.
Emollients or moisturizers help keep the skin moist, and also help skin repair itself. They protect the skin from becoming inflamed again. They are a key part of preventing and treating contact dermatitis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Hope i have cleared your queries. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer

The lumps are not spreading or becoming bigger for now. Did you manage to look at the photo that was attached with the query?
Thanks again for answering the question and if the situation worsens we'll see our dermatologist.
Good to hear from you.
Yes madam i have seen the photo which you have uploaded.
He may be sensitive to the chlorine, which will be used in most of the water park.
I advice you to use antihistamine cream for two to three days, he should be fine.
If it does not subside within 3 to 4 days or it spreads / increases i advice you to see dermatologist for examination.
Hope i have cleared your queries. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you and your son good health.
