Brief Answer:
This is urticaria - Need not worry about measles
Detailed Answer:
Hi....I have seen the images provided. It is an urticarial rash or a simple skin allergy. It will settle in few hours to days depending on allergen exposure and body's reaction to it.
Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral anti-allergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician as the drug is suggested is a prescription drug.
But as of now, if you have any over the counter anti-allergic licensed at this age in your country, you can give it in the suggested dose.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
