Mysterious Rash

[elemenope]

My nine year old brother has a re-occurring, unexplainable rash. This is maybe the fourth occurrence and we have still not been able to pinpoint its exact cause. Recently, a doctor suggested that it was poison ivy, but it is not itchy or spreading. We did have a theory that it may be an allergic reaction to apple pesticides, but he hasn't eaten any recently. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas as to what this might be, or an accurate description of a poison ivy rash. I know this is difficult without knowing his diet or environment, but I'll enjoy any feedback!

You could also do a search on google images for more pictures.

It's usually itchy though, has he been near any poison ivy?

What does he do and what has he been near recently?

Has he changed washing powder, toiletries etc...?
