In general

Rashes are one of the most common reasons that parents of small children visit the doctor. In most cases rashes do not suggest a dangerous condition, but sometimes they can be a sign of danger. If a child is in good general health and has no other symptoms, you can often observe for a few days. Many types of rashes will disappear without treatment.

If the rash is accompanied by high fever, difficulties in breathing, vomiting or reduced general health (that is - just not acting right or like himself), you should seek the advice of a doctor. It is often difficult to describe rashes over the telephone. One type of rash can have different causes. It is therefore advisable to let your doctor evaluate the rash. It is important to note what the rash looks like, how widespread it is, how many and how big the marks on the skin are, how long the rash has been present and if the rash is itchy.
