Rash on my baby???

I know this isn't pregnancy related but my son will be a year old in 9 days & he's got a rash it started on his butt then it went to his front and now it's on his hands it's like little red dots everywhere should I be concerned? Is this just from teething?

That sounds like that hand foot and mouth thing. I cant remember what the technical name is. But its something where they come in contact with something such as poop andnthe bacteria spreads. I dont remember much about it, i learned about it in highschool forever ago. I would have him checked out asap, but it may not be as serious as what i described, hopefully its not that! Good luck!

I would go get him checked. Sounds bacterial since its traveling to different areas of his body. Babies get diaper rashes while teething due to the excessive amount of saliva they swallow. That wouldn't travel to his hands.
