Can you take a bath with roseola?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned should be the common red rash that most children experience. Remember never to bathe them, and also never let them scratch the rash. Avoid exposure to wind as well. If it itches, you can gently press it with the palm of your hand. It will usually heal within about a week. You can also give the child more plain water to drink.
