What Causes Red, Itchy Blotches On Wrist, Stomach And Face Of A Child?

My three-year-old has developed red blotches across her body...no real pattern to where they occur (on her wrist, stomach, leg, face) the red blotches have a cluster of raised white whelps in the center. Only associated symptoms are a typical cold, runny nose and cough. No lack of energy or appetite. Just complains of itching.
