Looks like an allergic reaction. it could be an allergy due to dogs. i had my lil neice have this allergy. got cured in a few days. i think it is scabies.

Go to the DR. Its probably nothing but could indicate something serious, so why waste your time posting on here - just go and see them.

This could be an allergic reaction. Be sure to take your child to your family doctor as soon as possible.

Take Calcium Magnesium from Nutrilite. I think he took sea foods or something that is not suitable for him. http://www.amway2u.com http://bodycarekits.blogspot.com

I would call your doctor. It could just be a heat rash, but when my daughter gets strep throat, she breaks out in a trunk rash before she complains that her throat hurts.

Thats sound like kind of skin allergies and should get the advise from the doctor.

I'm far from an expert, but my first thought is a food allergy.

go to webmd.com and they have pictures of different rashes. There is another less common childhood illness known as Fifth's, it's like measles and chicken pox..highly contagious..but not seen as often. Like the other two it will run it's course and they will be fine. But I would make sure that is what they have first...

It could be impetigeo, just go to the DR.It sounds contageous what ever it may be. Looking things up is good but you really need to just head on in to your family DR. so noone else comes in contact as well. Call anyone you might have had him around to see if their kids have had anything similar. Good luck and please let us know what this is because I have 7 and 2 yr old and if they ever experience something it's always good to be aware.

Where health issues are concerned, my motto has always been that if in doubt then go to the Doctor and this is more so if the one with the problem is a child. Good luck and I hope it turned out to be nothing major at all.
