I'm pretty sure it's not a heat rash - that would be lots and lots of tiny spots.

I love your stairs!
Could be chicken pox but could easily not be... is it on arms? Think the pox usually more on torso / face but that might just be in yoounger ones.

I wouldn't have said heat rash either. Chicken pox spots tend to come up initially like a raised blister, and yes will turn darker when they scab over.

Can you get her to the chemist to have a look?

How old is she? If it is the pox have some calpol ready for when/if the temperature hits.

And by the way, I bloody LOVE THE STAIRCASE!

I would have said heat rash, but not sure with the heads on the spots.

Ds2 had heat rash a couple of weeks ago and it looked like measles.

Do you have any pirotin you can give her? That helped with ds2s heat rash.

If it continues to spread I'd make an appointment with gp, explain the rash, they might send someone out rather than taking her in and possibly infecting others.

Love your stairs!

I don't think it's heat rash. Possibly chicken pox. And talking of chickens, they are lovely!!!! (bugger the stairs, give me the animals!) Wink

If you're going to boots, get some virasoothe. It's a gel and works amazingly well on pox.

On my phone but they just look like heat spots... Itchy, irritating things. Some piriton should help and cool water if I think back right.

I need to do my stairs like that.

They'd match my rainbow sorted bookcase.

pharacist says they are the pox, got some calamine cream and some anti histamine.
