Infant With Reddish Rashes Around The Eyes, Forehead And Neck. Has Fever, Lethargy. Anything To Be Concerned?
My 6 month old has a flat pale red rash aroun her eyes, forehead and around the did of her face all the way behind her neck and ears. She's been teething, has had a fever on and off for three days and hasn't eaten much so I don't think it's allergies. She's been kind of lethargic and last night she was sweating a lot while asleep. Is this rash dangerous?

Dear user,
This rash has all the markings of a viral infection as rash is present along with fever. You should probably not worry about the rash as it may go away after a few days. However, the fever is something you should keep an eye on. If it rises above 101 degrees F, you should see her doctor immediately as this may indicate that this is potentially a more serious problem than a mere virus.
