What Causes Rashes All Over Arms And Legs In Children?
Hello! My son (5 years old) has a rash that appears like bites all over his legs and arms. I have two other children that are completely fine with not one bump on them. I took him to the doctor this morning (the doctor from a distance said it was scabies and prescribed a cream). I immediately took him to the dermatologist that disputed that stating it s bug bites. I feel there is something more only for the reason I am with him constantly (with the exception of school). What else could it be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks like papular urticaria which is an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply Cortisone cream on the affected areas and give him antihistaminic meidcation.
Regards.
