What Causes Light Rashes All Over The Body?

Hi there - my toddler has a very light rash of almost invisible dots. It started yesterday across the lower part of the body and legs but today it is now across her body although her face is not affected. I would have considered it linked to a change of laundry liquid but think she has worn washed clothes already. Two nights ago she was affected by a temperature as was yesterday morning, but this has now subsided. She is also teething and generally irritable. I m not panicking, but this is unusual for her so thought I would check! Thanks

It may be allergic rash or viral exanthem
Measles may be another possibility
Or it may be purpura (idiopathic thromocytopenic purpura)
Do the platelet count immediately if there is suspucion of ITP
