What Causes Flesh Colored Bumps On Arms And Legs?

My three year old has flesh colored bumps on his arms and legs only. He has not complained of any itching or pain. This has never happened before. They are only on his arms and legs and have been there since last night. No changed in soap, detergent, etc.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI...by what you quote I feel that it could be either -

1. HSP - Henochschonlein purpura
2. Uticaria - a form of skin allergy

But as you say there is no itching, the likely hood of HSP is more.

I suggest you see your local pediatrician with these tips.
