What Causes Rashes In The Arms And Head?
my 2 year old has a rash on his arms and head, we took him to urgent care and they were unable to tell us what it was... it has been hot and we have been putting sunblock on him (i think its an allergy to sunblock) the dr at urgent care tested him for scarlet fever and it came back negitive

Hi,
Could it be a viral infection? Are those rashes really itchy? If yes it could be an allergic reaction to the sunblock. You should take him to the dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
