A rash in a child can have many causes, including allergies, infections, heat rash, or viral illnesses. If the rash is spreading, itchy, or comes with fever, trouble breathing, or swelling, see a doctor immediately.

Common causes include:

Viral infections (like chickenpox or hand-foot-mouth disease)
Allergic reactions (to food, soap, or new clothes)
Heat rash (from sweating)
Eczema (if the skin is dry and itchy)
Until you see a doctor:

Keep his skin cool and clean
Use mild soap and moisturizer
Avoid scratching
If he has a fever, swelling, or breathing problems, seek urgent medical help.
