small round circles on skin of a child, some kind of rash?

Ringworm probably.  It's really common in children, especially that take baths.  It wont be too serious unless you don't get it treated.  Call a doctor and get an appointment to get a diagnosis and he/she will get an RX for you.

Could be chicken pox's but I've never heard of anything that comes and goes. Measles, mumps, German measles...it could be a number of things. Your best bet would be to call her pediatrician in the morning and set up an appointment ASAP. It could be serious.

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox.  That may indeed be the case.  In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away.  Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.\n\nIt also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat."  (The latin term is miliaria rubra.)  You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat.  In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped.  Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.\n\nIf prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order.  Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next.  He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.\n\nI hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness.  In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.

My son had a similar condition last year at school. The nurse at school called me and apparently it is called " Fifth disease". It went away within 2 days,  it was splotchy, red, no itch, no fever, no residual side effects, but he looked horrible for 2 days, it affected his cheeks, arms, thighs, buttocks, back and stomach it  has never come back, I have never heard of anything like this being a recurring problem. Best wishes, Tiff

There is no sure cause, though it probably has to do with allergies and a child's immature immune system. The best treatment is to reduce any irritants such as detergents, fabric softener, jewelry, etc. Also key is to keep skin moisturized.

Possibly birthmarks but you should have a doctor check them out.

Sounds like tinea versicolor. It's a skin fungus and easily treated with selenium sulfide lotion.

Sounds possibly like urticaria (hives), which could be an allergic reaction, or due to a number of other things, including an infection. I know a LOT of people who have chronic hives, and many of them first thought they had flea, chigger or mosquito bites. It's a very common misdiagnosis for hives. And hives do tend to follow a pattern of appearing to follow each other, and often appear along areas where clothing may be tight (such as bra lines) or the skin may be chafed or otherwise irritated.\n\nTry bathing with Aveeno, it;s an oatmeal powder that is made to mix with bathwater, you can find it at any drugstore. Mix one packet with warm water (not hot - heat will likely make the itching worse) and soak for as long as you comfortably can (15-30 minutes). OTC antihistamines such as Benadryl may help, but it's better to consult a doctor than trying to dose yourself with medications.\n\nIf you continue to have this rash for a while (weeks), you really should consult with a doctor, since there are some systemic conditions, including cancers, which can cause a persistent rash. Not to scare you, but they should be ruled out.

Heat rash or some sort of allergy...:

I have this from having two kids. I've tried everything I'm going to try the answer from the girl above... If I can find out what it is. lol

sounds like rosasea, where there are a collection of things that look like "zits" on bilateral cheeks and sometimes involves the nose. It is difficult to diagnose a skin rash without actually seeing it.

she might have a rash, which is normal for little kids to get. Most likely she has a yeast infection. No matter what, go to the pediatrician and maybe get her on some antibiotics.

Do you think it might be important to know where they are on your son?  How old your son is?  How they showed up?  Any other details about these bumps or any symptoms associated?  I left my crystal ball in my other sport coat.  Give details and I'll edit my answer later or tomorrow.\n\nIf there are many surface, possibly coalescing, "pus bumps" with a reddened base...this sounds like a contact dermatitis, like poison ivy or poison oak, but sometimes people can have strong reactions to other chemical agents etc...you didn't mention that there was itching, though.  You should use Domeboro solution - it is available at your local drug store.\n\nIf the pus bumps are associated with a hair follicle then this sounds like a folliculitis.  Essentially it is an infection of the hair shaft.  Oral or topical antibiotics are useful.  It is from the bacteria that is normally found on the skin.\n\nAlright that's the best I can guess given the information.  If it doesn't sound right, of course taking him into his pediatrician is a very good idea.  Good luck.

its looks like a normal rash the only difference is if u rub a glass over it you will still see it where a normall rash will dissappear, If u think it is meningitis its always better to get it checked out because it is really serious and dangerous if left
