8 year old with very odd rash like patch below elbow. They are perfect rows of little bruise like spots?

When my daughter got out of her bath last night I noticed she has what at first glance I thought was a scrape on her arm, after a closer look it showed an odd pattern of about 4-5 rows across and about 9 spots high a piece of small reddish purplish spots under the skin, almost like a bruise but ruddier almost like a broken blood vessel. She says it doesn't hurt or itch but I can't figure out what it is?|||Keep your eye on it again for a day or two or more.


If she was laying on something (like carpet) or the ground it could be a little abrasion - My daughter had a weird rash last night from her friends trampoline.





Could be just as you say little bruises. Keep a close eye on them and if they seem worse call her MD.


If they appear the same or better just keep a mental note.|||Sounds like some alleregic reaction- these days with the detergents alone kids develop all kinds of allergies- talk to her pediatrician about this, it's best if he/she takes a look at it.|||could be ringworm - if it didn't go away in a day or two I would take her to the doctor.
