I was thinking poison ivy, but I’m sure they’d be itchy with that.

That’s what I was thinking too, but no, no itching.
It’s weird, it varies throughout the day, bright red then it starts to fade, then it’s bright again…??
Thanks for replying anyway! :)

My daughter reacts to sunscreen and it’s more of a large blotchy rash.
It could be some virus and the rest of the symptoms have already passed or will show up later, like Roseola. Call the doctor tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip—I don’t think it’s Roseola though, no fever and no rash anywhere else (trunk, arms, legs)...
Since we’ve moved here 3 out of our 4 kids seem to always bust out in weird rashes for no reason. I usually chalk them up to viral rashes as they usually have a cold or slight fever, but this time-there’s nothing but the weird bumps on their faces! So far, the boys are the only ones who have it-the girls, dh & I are fine.
We’re actually without a dr currently (dh got a new job and our benefits kick in next week—figures huh?), so I’ll keep an eye on them and if they get worse I’ll take them to an Urgent Care or something.
Thanks for your reply! :)

Has he been swimming? But then I would think it would affect the entire eye (if it was chlorine). Hmm…..

Hello everyone, I’m hoping someone can offer some input here.
My 5 yr old woke up yesterday with a red, raised, bumpy rash around his eyes and along his brow. It doesn’t seem to bother him, but it looks awful! This morning, my 7 yr old has a few bumps as well, although not nearly as bad as my 5 yr old.
I thought it might be an allergic reaction to sunscreen, but now that my other son has it too, I’m not sure what it is.
No fever, no aches, pains, etc. No congestion, no fatigue…just a weird bumpy rash.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any input! :)
