Hi. I have a 7 year old boy with a rash all over his back and stomach. They are tiny little bumps, not red, not itchy, about the size of a pin head covering his torso. They have a waxy feeling to them. any thoughts on what it could be and how to treat it?

Hi,

The rash could be a lichen nitidus. There are other probable diagnosis too. But, most of the conditions are self limiting if not associated with any symptoms. I recommend you to visit your Dermatologist to arrive at probable diagnosis and to initiate proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
