What Causes Red Rashes On The Chest And Arms Of A Child?
My 10 year old child has red circles on her chest now she has one on her arm and under her arm and on her back. This has been on her since Saturday and I took her to the doctor yesterday due to cough and cold. The spots are very similar looking to ring worm but they look worse. The doctor said that she has a viral infection and it is part of it but I am not so sure. She is much better today but the spots are not at all.

Maintain strict hygiene
Consult doctor
Get physically examined and investigated if needed
