What Causes Red Rashes In The Inner Legs Along With Fever?

My 4 year old son had a slight fever 4 days ago and is not himself. He developed a rash all over him like goosebumps but between his legs he got really red itchy and now it is peeling. The rest of the rash has disappeared somewhat but his pelvis area and between his legs is still raw. What does this mean. Should I see a doctor?

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to roseola which si a viral illness. It commonly affects kids. It is usually marked by several days of high fever, followed by a distinctive rash just as the fever breaks. I suggest using Tylenol for the fever. I also recommend giving him liquids and rest.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
