My 11 Year Old Son Has What Looks Like A
Question: My 11 year old son has what looks like a rash all over his back it’s not itching and it doesn’t hurt but it looks like red bruising and scratches
this came out on his back he says theres no pain or itching. he was rough playing on the carpet with his cousin.
Brief Answer:
Use a soothing lotion
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.
Definitely seems a result of rough playing/ handling on carpet. Most likely his back was rubbing vigorously against the carpet while playing. I can see linear red marks. I advice you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion on his back. I think that should make it ok.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
