My DS often gets a fine, sandpaper like rash on his skin when he has a viral infection. It goes away when the virus does.

a rash all over on a small child could be strep. You should take him to the pediatrician.

It is like sand paper. Could it be Scarlett fever with no cough or high temp?

Is it like sandpaper? It could be Scarlett fever, aka strep with rash.

Our 4 year old suddenly got a fine rash covering his entire body. It looks like goosebumps all over finger tips, face etc.
I can't drive since I recently had surgery so won't be able to take him to the doctor until tomorrow. Just thought someone may have an idea. Trying to get to talk with the doctor. He doesn't have a cough, runny nose etc. he is behaving vey normal with no temp or red eyes.
