    18 month old with skin rashes
    My 18 month old daughter recently - a week ago, got a couple of dry skin patches on the back of her thighs which proceeded to turn red. Then shortly after got a blotchy rash on her butt cheeks which appeared to be a little itchy. It looks differend from her legs. Then her back was overnight covered in a pimply rash all over, and seems to be spreading to her sides and chin etc. she is just getting over the flu too but I'm not sure if that is relevant. I took her to the doctors yesyerday and she said it was eczema and persribed her lots of moisturizing products. But taking a second look today at the initial rash on the backs of her thighs, that one now looks more like ringworm. Circular and paler in the middle. And there are a few more smaller leisions on her legs now which are red dry circular patches but not pale in the middle yet. So she has 3 different looking rashes: ringworm type rash on legs, blotchy itchy under the skin, typ on her buttocks, and a pimply rash speading all over her torso it seems. Really not sure what to make of it. She seems fine in her self and no tempreture.

    It all started about a week ago, flu, potty training and also the rashes. Don't know if it any of it is linked.

    Please help I'm getting really worried about it. She had perfect skin before this, maybe a tiny bit dehydrated from the central heating and cold weather but otherwise perfect.
