Child Rash Video Visits in Utah

Rashes are one of the most common reasons parents reach out after hours, and one of the best fits for a video visit. Most rashes in kids are harmless and caused by viruses, dry skin, eczema, heat, bug bites, or irritation from something new.

When to go in person or call 911

Hives with swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, trouble breathing, or repeated vomiting: call 911
Tiny red or purple spots that don't fade when pressed, especially with fever: go to the ER now
Blistering, peeling, or very painful skin, or a rash involving the eyes or mouth sores with high fever
A red, warm, swollen, spreading area, especially with fever or red streaks
Any rash with fever in a baby under 3 months, or in a child who seems very ill

Common rashes we see

Eczema and winter dry-skin patches (common in Utah's dry air)
Viral rashes that appear with or after a cold or fever
Hives from a new food, medicine, or soap
Diaper rash, heat rash, and bug bites
Hand, foot, and mouth disease, impetigo, and ringworm

How a video visit can help

Look at the rash closely on camera; you can also share clear photos
Review when it started, whether it itches or hurts, and any fever or new products
Give a skin care plan, and send a prescription to your pharmacy if one is needed
Advise on whether it's contagious and when your child can return to school or daycare

Tips for a great rash visit

Use bright, natural light and hold the camera steady about a foot from the skin. Take a photo when the rash first appears in case it fades before the visit.
