Dermatology, (the section of medicine that deals with skin problems) is so complicated that it would be impossible to give a particular reason for a rash over the internet. There are so many types of "splotchy red rashes" that there is no way for anyone to determine the cause without someone actually *looking at* the rash. Having said that, there are a few *basic* sources of rashes that will be listed here, but you *must* see a doctor for a true reason! Possible causes: Exposure to something you're allergic to like: A medication you're taking A plant or animal you're allergic to Eating something you're allergic to Also, there are a few disease processes that cause rashes such as: Measles of any type "Fifth" disease and so on.

It is difficult to diagnose a rash without visualization - however, by your description, it appears to be either seborrhea dermatitis or atopic dermatitis (both are BENIGN conditions) - your pediatrician should be able to diagnose the rash when you see him/her.

Well a variety of things could cause that but it could be an alergic reaction or an infection. The best thing to do is get it checked out by an doctor to make sure things are okay. this is coming from an very smart educated 14 yr old if you don't want to take advise from me then so be it...

My six month old developed the same bumpy red rash all over her body. She had a few spots last noght but this morning it was all over her body. Even on the soles of her feet and the palms of her hands. I have booked an appointment with the GP but I dont think it seems to bother her and she has no fever.
