Strange Toddler Rash, terrified its something worse

Strange Toddler Rash, terrified its something worse

My toddler has developed a small circle shaped rash on her neck, I wasn't overly concerned until I noticed another patch a few inches under her ear. It circular shaped and has small tiny bumps. It does not itch her, or hurt, it is not oozing or pussing. I applied tinactin and it seemed to go down. Both bump last a week. She was sick, both my children were sick, and then right after that I noticed. The reason Im TERRIFIED is that I thought it may be herpes. I had a blister, and of course there was no way she touched it or I touched her. But I do recall her using a towel I think I used. I read that is unlikely to get it that way bt the bumps look the same. The towel wasn't wet, but what else could it be? Please help, Im so scared for my little girl. Please advise.

Hi,

It would be best to consult a skin specialist or pediatrician for your child. Bacterial or fungal infection and other skin conditions need to be ruled out.

Till then you can apply calamine lotion at the sites and keep the areas clean.

Let us know about what the doctor advises and post us about how your child is doing.

Post us if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
