A Question and an Answer:
Question:
Every time my child
gets sick, he gets spots all over his chest and back. He’s had the chicken pox
vaccine, but why does he get these spots?
Answer:
Rashes
in children can be quite common and can be due to many different causes. Often
the rash is due to a viral infection and is to be expected. Some rashes may
have a pattern that is typical to the disease itself. While we immunize
children against many common viral illnesses that cause rashes, such as
measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox, there are many other infections, both
viral and bacterial that can cause a rash.
Can a bacterial infection also cause
a rash?
Yes.
Some can indicate an urgent situation such as meningitis. In this case the rash
is flat and does not disappear when pressed. While most rashes are not
concerning, it is always best to speak with your doctor to get a definitive
diagnosis.
