Question

A colleague’s child has recently developed body itching without any signs of mosquito bites, but instead, has appeared in patches of red rash. The colleague has taken the child to the emergency room, and now hopes to understand whether roseola infantum can cause itching?

Answer

The appearance of red rashes on a child that are not caused by mosquito bites may be a manifestation of roseola infantum. It is recommended that parents actively communicate with doctors and receive appropriate treatment. At the same time, consider using ointments to alleviate the condition, as the child’s skin may have developed an allergic reaction after being bitten by mosquitoes.
