Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Many viral infections and some bacterial infections like impetigo can present as bumps on different parts of body. Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out. Meantime, do not allow the kid to scratch vigorously so that secondary infection can be avoided.

Hope I have answered your query.
