Cold and Raised Red Bumps??

There are viruses that cause rashes in young kids and they are very common for babies. Nothing to worry about.

Has she had a fever at all? My son got something called roseola recently. Its basically cold like symtoms and then they get a fever, the fever goes away and then they get a rash. You can google it and chack it out. I was really stumped until I read more about it. It's contagious and going around right now. Unfortunetly there isn't much you can do to treat it. With time it will go away. My son had it for about 1 week. Good luck to you and have a great day!

my daughter had this as well. when I called the dr. they said it was probably a rash stemming from a fever. It lasted about a week or so, then went away.

Good Luck

My daughter had the same thing a couple months ago. Our naturopath looked at it. I can't remember the name of the virus but it was something that just burns itself out after awhile. Our daughter probably had bumps coming and going for six weeks or so, and then they just went away.

I thought of roseola. My kids had it. So I looked it up on the May Clinic site:

If your child is exposed to someone with roseola and becomes infected with the virus, it generally takes a week or two for signs and symptoms of infection to appear — if they appear at all. It's possible to become infected with roseola, but have signs and symptoms too mild to be readily noticeable. Roseola symptoms may include:

* Fever. Roseola typically starts with a sudden, high fever — often greater than 103 F (39.4 C). Some children may also have a slightly sore throat, runny nose or cough along with or preceding the fever. Your child may also develop swollen glands in his or her neck along with the fever. The fever lasts for three to seven days.
* Rash. Once the fever subsides, a rash typically appears — but not always. The rash consists of many small pink spots or patches. These spots are generally flat, but some may be raised. There may be a white ring around some of the spots. The rash usually starts on the chest, back and abdomen and then spreads to the neck and arms. It may or may not reach the legs and face. The rash, which isn't itchy or uncomfortable, can last from several hours to several days before fading.

It will pass. It isn't miserable. But don't expose her to anyone else. It is called the "sixth disease". Alot of kids don't get it and moms never hear about it.

J.,

My 19 month old daughter had that recently and the doctor told us it was a type of hives. My little girl seems to have more sensitive skin than the rest of us. We did nothing and they went away and she's fine now.

I'd talk to your doctor/pediatrician if you're really worried/concerned.

I would bring your daughter to the doctor to get checked out. They could be flea bites. Fleas bite more than once and can spread their bites. My son is very allergic to flea bites and when he gets them...he really gets them. You could also try a warm oatmeal bath for her in case they are itching.

Could be sensitive to laundry detergent or chicken pox.

The rash they are suggesting- the bumps are usually not real red, they don't go away but they can keep getting more and they are more on the torso first. It can start w/ one large one (called a hearld patch) Kinda a signal something is on it's way. It takes weeks to months to go away. I would take her to MD and just make sure or at least call and advice nurse. Why mess around. You won't know what it is till someone takes a look at them..There are why too many rashes out there to speculate.
