That really looks like an allergic reaction to me!!
My daughter gets facial flushing like pic one. And pic 2 looks like a wheals (excuse the spelling!!). I can’t quite see pic 3.
Have you tried an antihistamine??

Just googled, looks like some of the pics, DD had the lacey effect much more prominently but not as raised red patches .

This was my son. He was covered all over. A week before the rash appeared he was poorly with swollen adenoids and stomach pain. His brother had it a week later. They both felt under the weather. It looks dramatic but soon went. Apparently once the rash appears they are no longer contagious. Hope your son is better soon.
