Question: I have a 1 year old with what appears to be a rash all over her body. It started in her diaper area a few days ago and the past day spread aggressively up her back, to some on her scalp, a few on her face, many less on her stomach and few if any on her limbs. She is experiencing no fever, no lack of appetite etc. because she is not in any distress is their anything I should be doing prior to taking her to the ER tomorrow or doctor on Monday?

Brief Answer:
Visiting a pediatrician on Monday would be better.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I think taking her to a pediatrician on Monday should be a better idea. However, if the child looks sick or becomes lethargic, I would suggest you to visit the ER without delay.
