Dermatology/dime sized flat red spots - not itchy - 14 month old
Expert: Uribe - 10/20/2009
QuestionMy 14 month old has had three dime - nickel sized flat red spots on his arm (1) and leg (2) in the past 2 months. The one on his arm went away after about a month; however, the two on his leg are still there.
They do not seem to itch or be dry. They become redder in the bath tub. It looks a little like ringworm, but there is no "ring" it is all a pretty uniform pink or red color.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
