Red itchy spots on body no fever
My 7 year old son (weight 40kgs) has light cold and red spots on his body. They are itchy. His skin is soft not dry or rough. Spots started on his cheeks first then appeared on his chest, back, arms and legs. Sometimes it seems they are decreasing but they are coming again. His skin is soft when I touch the area with red spots. Can you please suggest if I need to visit a dermatologist or pediatrician? Or can I wait for a few more days before making a visit to the doctor? Can you please let me know what could be the reason for this skin issue?
