Non Itchy Rash In Torso Spreading To Neck. No Relief With Medicine. How To Cure?
My son is 7, has a rash on his torso - front is a little worse than on his back & Goes up onto his neck. It doesn t really itch much. I Gave Benadryl before bed last night & put a cortisone cream on. Doesn t seem as Bright today, but don t know if I should get it checked out or let it run it s course. It s gradually spread over about 3 days. It s like a pin prick rash, not solid.

Rashes are common in children but red flags are- associated with high fever, mucosal involvement, redness of eyes, letharginess, discomfort and other constitutional symptoms. In hot weather, it can be prickly heat. Keep the room comfortable, look for other symptoms and if it's increasing conuslt your Pediatrician.
