What is this rash on 11 month olds back??
Babies mostly get benign rashes from the tail end of a viral infection. If it is not raised, and not itchy, and not heat its most likely viral. I am a nurse, have 3 kids, 2 with skin issues (dermatitis, eczema) and the oldest has had scarlet fever twice (that is a raised scaly rash on the trunk) and my husband is a skin care specialist (WOCN RN, C.-wound ostomy care nursing, registered nurse, certified) There is absolutely no reason to rush to the hospital at all Today-I sent my 3 yr old to school with a viral rash on the neck and chest, he is no longer contageous as by this point the virus has past as this is the last stage, they took him no problem and have not called me to come and take him to the emergency room or pick him up An allergy to food would be hives, a reaction from contact (clothing) would be itchy.
