What Causes Red Rashes On The Abdomen Of A 2 Year Old?

Our two year old had a pediatrician visit yesterday and was given 100% health. Yesterday afternoon she was complaining about her tummy hurting. Upon viewing her upper stomach there appeared to be to red marks about index and middle finger long. We thought she had bumped something or scraped it. Gave her a gel pack in paper towel to ice it. Then at bed time when we viewed again it was bold red and appeared to be like burn marks. We have nothing hot she could have gotten into. Unsure what this is or how she got it. Neosporin a day later no visible change. Help???

Brief answer:
Appears to be a insect bite.

Detailed answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child was perfectly normal a day ago as examined by pediatrician. Now, suddenly he has developed rash marks over abdomen.
This appears to be insect bite which has trail marks.
In my opinion, you should give hydroxizine syrup PO 5 ml three times a day for 3 days and apply neosporin powder locally.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
