What Causes Mild Light Pink Patches On Upper Leg And Low Belly?

My 15 month old baby has mild light pink patches that are raised on his back upper leg and low belly. These do not appear itchy, however do seem to be spreading. There is no fever or diarrhea associated with it. This appears to have going on for about 2 wks. He is eating and drinking well and is quite pleasant for a budding toddler.

Hi...by what you quote I feel there are tow possibilities -

1. Henoch Schonlein Purpura

2. Urticaria or simple skin allergy (but as there is no itching I am putting this a second possibility).

But...Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
