She is almost 2, she went to the beach Saturday (April 21), sunscreen was used on her, (but it had been used on her before). She is teething currently, her molars, or incisors what ever they are called are coming in, she has not eating anything new, nor has new laundry detergent or anything like that. It is moving towards her stomach and chest. As you can see it is across her back. Some of the spots you can feel on her back (raised bumps), the rest feel smooth, her temperature is normal. The rash appeared around 6pm today (April 23)
**extra** Don't answer this question with a "take her to the doctor" I know this, I am not the mother, she is my niece and she is being dealt with, I want an answer of what it is, NOT what I should do... Thank you,

Looks like she has just broke out from something, If she hasn't had anything new, maybe it is Chicken pox, or possible the sunscreen just got old... Rosia is a good guess... but you can never be to sure.....

I went to the doctor when I was in the 4th grade b/c I had something that looked sort of like a heat rash. It's actually called 5th disease I believe. I went to the doctor for it and everything. I was also all normal with everything else. It's just caused by the sun or when you are in really warm places. It ends up going away, or at least mine did. I hope this helps!

my son (18 mos) had the exact same thing and when i took him to the doctor it was hives. actually i waited a day before i took him, they were pretty much all raised the next morning. he had an ear infection and it turned out he was allergic to the penecillin. the way it worked was the allergic reaction got worse every time he took it, so i had no idea until this round of antibiotics that he was allergic. hope that helps.

Okay. It looks like allergy-related hives or heat rash. Is there anything new in her diet that might've caused her to have an allergic reaction? A new product that's being used in her bath or something?

If the rash has a rough, sandpapery feel, it could be a bacterial or viral rash. She may not even feel that sick - sometimes when a kid gets a rash, they might not have a sore throat until later or maybe not at all.

Did she get in a hottub? It looks similar to folliculitis. You can get that pretty much anywhere. Whirlpool tubs in hotel rooms too that have all the jets in it. If it is that, can be treated with antibiotics
