Q: skin rash on body
asked by: memoylila on September 21st, 2008

My son is 14 months old, and he has a rash on most of his body (his cheeks, chest, back, arms, and legs). His skin feels very rough. It does itch, and his eyes seem to itch too and under his eyes its puffy and red and sometimes watery. He gets very fussy because of the itching. oh also he has a small little bump on the back of his right ear, the nurse told me that was due to the scratching. I took him to the doctor and they could'nt really tell me what it was, they just said it was a viral rash (not really quite sure though, they also tested him for a strep throat but that was negative) and if it didnt go away in 5 more days to take him back in, i dont see it getting better. If anyone can give me any feedback regarding my son's rash please do so, thank you.

Did he have any other symptoms such as fever that occurred before the rash or during it?

Maybe it is poison oak or poison ivy. If it is, then they could give him some sort of steriod shot or allergy medication to reduce the itch and pain.
