Hi...by what you quote I feel that it could be a viral illness called slapped cheek disease. Slapped cheek disease is sometimes called fifth disease or erythema infectious. It is an infection caused by the arbovirus B19 virus. It most commonly occurs in child Chat Doctor.  Furthermore, it is infectious (can be passed on). The infectious period is for 4-20 days before the rash appears. By the time the rash develops, it is usually no longer infectious. But.... Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below - www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/
