Rashes on face
My 2 year 8 months daughter is having some reddish pimple like rashes on face for the last 7 days and fever and running nose for the last 5 days. She has these boils on face and one on hand and not on the rest of the body. Her weight is 11 kg and she is not allergic to anything. There is a watery substance coming out from the boils and many new are appearing. I am attaching a photo here . Please help with the diagnosis and treatment since I am in a remote village with no such healthcare facilities

Sorry to hear about your little child, it must be difficult being far from home.
To confirm firstly if fever and cold is definitely ongoing for over 5days? If so, it is good to get medical review as most viral illness fever should max subside by day 4-5.
Has your child had chickenpox or the vaccine for it? If the rash is all over and itchy it could be that. Some soothing cream/gel specific for chickenpox could help. Try lactocalamine which is available more readily everywhere.
