Rashes & Skin Reactions

Rashes & Skin Reactions

Skin rashes are common in children and can result from allergies, infections, or irritants. At North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL, we diagnose and treat pediatric skin conditions with gentle care and fast relief.

Understanding Rashes

Children's skin is sensitive and can react to new foods, soaps, weather, or illness. Some rashes go away on their own, while others need medical evaluation to prevent spreading or complications.

Symptoms

  • Red or raised bumps
  • Itching or irritation
  • Peeling or blistering
  • Fever alongside rash
  • Swelling or spreading of the rash

When to Seek Care

  • The rash is painful or spreading
  • There's a fever or swelling
  • Your child seems very uncomfortable
  • The rash isn't improving after a few days
  • You suspect an allergic reaction or infection
