Teething rash?

4 replies

Hi there,
10MO DD has been teething with her 3rd pair of teeth (top incisors) for about 2 weeks. The usual sore bum and bad nappies have ensued but she has also had a rash on her torso for the last 2 days and tonight it appeared on her legs and arms too.

Its not there during the day but has appeared during the course of the late evening. Anybody have experience of this or do you think its a Dr visit??

Hi there, my DS has finally cut his last teeth at nearly 3 and I don't recall him ever getting a rash. He has had rashes with viruses though, and also with tonsilitus, so if it was me I would go to the GP to be on the safe side, esp as she is young. It's not chicken pox is it?

No I dont think so. Its not the pustule type rash, more like prickly heat. But thanks all the same.
Her rash has dissappeared today but her bottom is sooo raw, Bepanthen wont touch it. Ive read that Metanium can be better so we're trying that today.

Poor wee thing. Plenty of nappy-off time, too, if you can bear the mopping up ;-) Hope she gets better soon!
