What Causes Rashes In The Body?

I am babysitting an 18 month old boy. He had a runny nose last week (somewhat normal) and a rash in the lower abdomen and diaper area with blisters that burst and red dots (no scabbing). Today the rash has spread to his thighs and upper abdomen, but no blisters so far. His pelvic area is swollen, but not his testicles or penis. No fever.

Hi,

This can be diapper rash or even due to fungal infection. If you can upload a photo of the rash we can help you in diagnosing and treating it better.

FOr now don't use diapper for couple of days, keep the area dry and clean. Use only cotton clothes sun dried(inner wear) and clean area with dettol. Needs good ventillation.
You can upload the photo or show to your doctor for further treatment.

Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them.

Regards
