Rashes

Does anyone have a good guide for trying to identify rashes? Red spots on arms, neck, forehead, not many on trunk. Varying sizes, no blisters, slightly raised. Brother, also in the school, has same thing mostly on his back & neck. UTD on vaccines, no pets. Sister, different school, has some too. Parents don't have anything. Mom doesn't seem terribly concerned. :/

In my schools teachers would be freaking out. To try to stay ahead of this and to make sure that they don't have something that they are going to share with classmates. I would request a note from their dr. indicating that they are ok to be in school. This would leave no question.

Thanks!

Doctor said scabies. I'm not convinced.
