Another Rash!?!

My poor Will. This boy is by far my child who frequents the pediatrician's office the most. So we are headed back today, for yet another rash on his beautiful body. I just don't understand. Will probably gets a rash at least once a month, often more. There haven't been any changes in detergent/soap/shampoo... no new foods/pets/environments/medications... no obvious rhyme or reason. And usually, the diagnosis is the same... his body is reacting to something... nothing to worry about... let it run it's course. But this time, the spots have merged together and it just looks different than his usual, so off we go this afternoon back to the pediatrician. Sigh.
As I was trying to get a photo of him he kept running around the kitchen island and laughing the whole time. These next three are blurry as he was running quite fast! At least he's still in great spirits!
This kid just can't seem to catch a break!

**Update: Both pediatricians concur that this appears to be hives/an allergic reaction to something. So next up will be a referral to the allergist to see if we can make some headway on these recurring rashes. It sure would be nice to get some answers (such as the trigger to these outbreaks). Here is the last major rash that he had back in January (at which point it was assumed to be a reaction to amoxicillin). 
Poor little guy!
