Thomas has had the exact same rash over his face and body for the past week. Dr reckons it's 'child acne' Thomas' skin has gone really dry so just rub some vaseline on it. Personally I think it's cos Thomas is having another major growing spurt

Re: non cat, weird rash can anyone help?


OK I'm back. Just gave her calpol and phoned NHS direct although they didnt say to do anything I'm not. Give her calpol, sponge her down if she gets too hot. Keep an eye on her,make sure she gets plenty of fluids, if she gets any worse then call back and they will send out a Doc. They think its her latest jabs. although it could also be something viral as she did have a croupy sounding cough this morning. I dont know about anyone else but I hate getting a Doc out, out of hours.
I'll watch her tonight and if she is any worse I'll get a Doc tomorrow unless its an emergency. Thanks PK

Glad all seems well Jac. I think we all hate calling a doctor out of hours but when it comes to the little ones if you are worried at all then it has to be done. Let us know how she is Jac x

Re: non cat, weird rash can anyone help?


hi, hope she's ok.
both of my kids come out in a rash that sounds exactly the same, quite often.
Does she ahve a sore throat?
My 7 year old had this last month, riased rash which he described as sore not itchy, lethargic, temp on and off, rash spread like wildfire in an hour. He went from nothing to looking bright red all over, of course I ran for the glass!! turned out it was streptococcyus bacterial infection in his throat. (i know i cant spell it!!)
As i said though both mine get these kind of rashes, often with a temp. it seems to be something they just come out in when they got some sort of virus, but i do hope your little un is ok

Re: non cat, weird rash can anyone help?


OH spent the night on the couch with her. She was up and down all night.
Today her nose is running her eyes are gunky and the temp comes and goes. I think she may have a virus and conjunctivitus. I'm going to take her to the Doc tomorrow. It's now obvious it's more than jjust her injections.
