My sister is 12 years old and has a rash
that started on the back of her upper arms
and has been spreading across her whole
body for 5 days now she had a fever to
start with, but that has since gone away.
the rash is preceded by itching every
where it has spread and on the 5th day
(today) it has spread all the way to her
knees. the rash looks splotchy, as if she
got a sun burn while wearing a very loose
knit shawl, but the rash is raised and is
the color of a faint new sun burn. Our
doctor doesn't know what it is and her
blood work is all normal except for a just
below normal iron level. we have tried
anti-hystemines, but to no avail.
please help!

When did she get the fever?
Was the rush preceded with a fever of 102
F and flu-like discomfort?
Is she feeling nauseous and vomiting?
Does your sister take certain medicines on
regular basis?
