took him to the Doctor yesterday and showed him a rash on his arms. Doctor said it was fine-just post viral rash.Just given him a bath and rash is really noticeable now. Is it cause for concern or is it just because he has been in contact with hot water.
He is absolutely fine and back to normal in all other ways.

Oh and should I keep him off nursery tomorrow?
What do you reckon o wise ones?

once the rash appears they aren't normally contagious, it may coem and go for a while.

as long as it disappears under pressure it will be fine.

Rashes can change in appearance when body temperature changes due to changes in relative blood flow to the skin.
