Rash on back,face& chest now white spots
My 6 yr old son broke out in small bumps on face,neck,chest and back. went to dr and she gave him steroids and allergy meds. Started to clear up and we finished all the meds. Still had a little bumps on face but over last 2 days bumps spread again and now he has white blotchy patches all over his back and his butt. I'm starting to think it was a fungal infection or rash and not a viral one that the Dr said it was. He has field day yesterday and they had water slides and were wet for 2 1/2 hours before changing into fresh clothes, not he has that white patch rash on his back and butt and is starting to get worse on his face. He keeps scratching cuz its itchy..... Please Help A desperate mom!!!!!
