My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.

RF is normal. Symptoms may be allergic or related to mild vasculitis. Continue follow-up with pediatrician. Avoid the suspected medication. If rashes worsen, seek immediate care.
