    I'm sorry to hear that. When did this happen? What sort of rash is it? Is it itchy? Is it swollen? Have you seen a doctor? Does he have a fever?

    You have to understand that rashes should be taken seriously. Rashes appear frequently because of allergies. Allergies attack the respiratory system and your son's breathing may be jeopardize before you even know it. Take precautions and have your son drink anti-histamines such as Virlix to stop the allergy from spreading and attacking his respiratory system. If you do not have anti-histamines at home and suddenly your son can't breath right now after reading this answer of mine, you can prepare him a cup of sugar for him to eat to neutralize the allergy. Have your son checked by your physician.

    Stella, not all rashes are allergy related! You do not have the ability to diagnose someone online, and it's against site rules to do so. I've asked you to refrain from this in other posts, but you've ignored my request.

    You are not only putting the site at risk by giving an invalid diagnosis, but you're also prescribing medication, and that's not only against the rules of this site, it's immoral. What happens if the child in this post is affected because of the medication your recommended? Are you willing to risk someone dying because of your advice?

    The only valid part of your post was that the poster should see a doctor. The rest of your post, even if you were a doctor, which you're not, is not only not okay, it's dangerous! Please stop diagnosing people on this site.

    I am reporting your post, and I'm hoping that you'll stop. When it comes to medical questions we can give possibilities, but that's it. We do not diagnose, and we do not prescribe! Do you understand?
