What Causes Rashes On The Body Of A Child?

I found a small rash on the back of my three year old daughters shoulder last night, in searching more I found three bumps/blister looking spots on the insides of the cheeks of her mouth. My mom is an RN she told me probably Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. I know it s a virus and there no way to treat it medicine wise. But I don t understand why she doesn t feel bad, everything I have read said it s a pretty brutal disease. She is perfectly normal and her appetite is actually up from normal, no fever. I checked her three times last night to make sure she wasn t getting a fever or more rash wasn t forming and found nothing, then this morning the rash looks like it s going away and all but one small blister in her mouth are gone. Gone. How could she have HFMD for only a day?

hello, thanks for your query, it's not a hand foot mouth disease. rashes could be due to some insect bite or self itching.

viral fevers are always explosive with signs of fever and others symptoms.

if you are still in suspicion, kindly evaluate with pediatrician.

hope u have answered your query. all the best. take care.
