Rashes involve changes in the color or texture of your skin. Often, the cause of a rash can be determined from its visible characteristics and other symptoms. A simple rash is called dermatitis, meaning inflammation of the skin. Contact dermatitis is caused by things your skin touches. Some common skin rashes are:

Acne:
Small white pimples, usually on the cheeks and sometimes on the forehead, the chin, and even the back of a newborn. May be surrounded by reddish skin. Can be present at birth or develop between 2 and 4 weeks of age.

Chicken pox blister:
Starts out as small, itchy, red bumps. These bumps quickly change into clear, fluid-filled blisters on a pink base, which eventually become dry brown crusts or scabs. The bumps often appear first on the scalp, face, or trunk and can then spread over the entire body. New waves of blisters often spring up as the illness progresses. Children usually get between 250 and 500 blisters, although it's possible to have just a few, especially if the child has had the chicken pox vaccine. Child may have a slight fever. Uncommon before the first birthday.

Cold sores:
Small fluid-filled blisters on or near the lips. Blisters may get bigger, burst, and crust over. They can appear individually or in clusters. Uncommon before age 2. The cold sore shown is on an adult mouth, but symptoms are the same in children.

Cradle cap:
Flaky, dry skin or yellowish crusty patches on scalp. May also show up around ears, eyebrows, armpits, and neck creases. Sometimes causes hair loss. Most common in newborns. It usually clears up in the first year.

Diaper rash:
Red, puffy skin in diaper area. Rash may be flat or raised. Causes discomfort during diaper changes. Most common in babies under 1 year.

Diaper rash (yeast):
Red, bumpy rash in diaper area that may include pus-filled bumps. May be worse in the skin folds, with some isolated bumps around the outside of the main rash. Lasts more than two days and doesn't respond to regular diaper cream. More common in children who have recently taken antibiotics.

Eczema:
Itchy rash that typically occurs in the creases of the elbows or knees, as well as on the cheeks, chin, scalp, chest, and back. Appears as dry, thickened, scaly red skin or tiny red bumps that may ooze or crust. Most common in families with a history of allergies or asthma. Typically shows up in the first year of life and often is gone by age 2, but can persist through adulthood.

Erythema toxicum:
A rash of small yellow or white bumps surrounded by red skin. Can appear anywhere on the body. Disappears on its own in about two weeks. Common in newborns, usually showing up two to five days after birth.

Fifth disease:
Starts with a slight fever, achiness, and cold symptoms, followed a few days later by bright red cheeks and a lacy, red, sometimes itchy rash on the trunk and feet. Also called slapped cheeks disease or erythema infectiosum. Most common in preschool and school-age children.

Folliculitis:
Pimples or pustules form around hair follicles and may crust over. Typically occurs on the neck and in the underarm or groin area. Uncommon before age 2.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease:
Fever, loss of appetite, and a sore throat, followed by painful, blisterlike sores in the mouth. Rash on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and sometimes the buttocks. The rash starts as small flat red dots that may turn into bumps or blisters. Most common in preschoolers but can occur at any age.

Hives:
Raised, red, itchy patches on skin. May come and go. Usually lasts from a few hours to a few days, but can persist for weeks or even months. Can occur at any age.

Impetigo:
Small red bumps that may be itchy. Often develops around the nose and mouth but can easily spread to other parts of the body. Bumps become pus-filled blisters that may burst and develop a soft yellowish-brown crust. Child may have a fever and swollen lymph glands in the neck. Most common in children between 2 and 6 years old.

Jaundice:
A yellow tinge to the skin. In dark-skinned babies, yellowness may be seen in whites of eyes, palms of hands, and soles of feet. Common during the first week or two of life. Most common in premature babies.
