Answered by Dr. Anna Chacon

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Based on your description, it's challenging to definitively diagnose the cause of the rash without a physical examination. However, it is reassuring to know that there are no symptoms of itching.

Rashes in children can occur for various reasons, including viral infections, allergies, or environmental factors. It's important to monitor if the rash spreads or if new symptoms develop. To provide the best care for your son, I recommend scheduling a virtual or in-person consultation. This will allow me to examine the rash more closely and ask additional questions about his overall health and recent activities.

In the meantime, ensure your son maintains good hygiene practices and avoid any potential allergens or irritants that could exacerbate the rash. Looking forward to assisting you further.

Thanks
