• Should we be concerned about a covid rash?

My 12-year-old has a rash on his face, neck, back, and chest. Tiny dots that spread and swell when scratched. It also burns when he scratches it (obviously trying to avoid that). How long should I wait to see if he should go to the doctor? Should we be concerned about a covid rash? He does not have a fever. I am applying anti-itch cream and we have given him allergy medicine for the symptoms.

Hard to say what is behind the rash - he should see his doctor for a good history and examination. Get Outlook for iOShttps://aka.ms/o0ukef
