Vesiculobullous rashes
Febrile
- Diffuse distribution
- Varicella (chickenpox)

- DIC
- Purpural fulminans
- Localized distribution
Afebrile
- Diffuse distribution
- Bullous pemphigoid

Evaluation
- Clinical diagnosis, based on history and physical examination
- If unsure, see Pediatric Fever
Management
- No specific therapy for most; self-limited
- NSAIDS and cool liquids for pain
- Encourage good hand hygiene to prevent spread
- Some recommend Magic Mouthwash/oral lidocaine if not tolerating PO intake, although evidence suggests no better than placebo[3]
In infants, do NOT use oral lidocaine due to risk of lidocaine toxicity and FDA black box warning[4][5]
Disposition
- Discharge with close outpatient followup to ensure adequate PO intake.
