Hi. I have a question.

[vandergriff4]

I am a lurker on here and noticed some medical questions being asked on here. My son (17 months old) has been running a fever today. It hasn't gotten over 100, but when the fever goes down he gets a rash that has little welps in it. The rash is patchy and only a small spot at a time. It will go away after about 30 minutes. I was wonding if anyone has seen this and could please tell me what it is.

Thank you

Is he fair skinned?

The only advice I have for you is to take your baby to the doctor. Whenever there is a fever involved, there is an infection. Have the professionals find out what it is.

Hi, Thanks for the welcome!!!!!

Yes, he is very fair skinned. I am going to call the Dr in the morning, but I thought I would ask for some advice first to see if anyone else has heard of this.

My dd is very fair. When she runs a fever, she gets red patches that disappear, usually on her cheeks. They don't last for too long. I asked the dr about it one time and it seems like he said it was a form or rosella (sp?). He said I could be horticortisone cream on it, but it wasn't anything to be too worried about.

I hope that's your ds's situation to. Please keep us updated about what the dr says.

He get the roseola(sp?) also, but this looks different. My DD (7) also got the roseola when she ran fevers. I will definatly let you know what the Dr says tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
