What Causes Rash On The Top Of Feet And Ankles With White Bumps In Children?
I have a 5-year-old with a rash on the tops of his feet and ankles. There are white bumps outlined in red, with a pattern. Some of the borders are red, some are streaky and white. It also itches. He had a fever last week for three days with headache, and has a cough now. The fever cleared with no other symptoms at the time. Other than his cough, he has no other symptoms. The rash looks like Fifth's, but when my daughter had Fifth's it was on her face and neck.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to fifth disease.
If the rash itches, an antihistamine can be used.
In case of fever, anti-inflammatory pain relievers such as Ibuprofen can be helpful .
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
