DS is 4 and woke up with a rash this morning.
Its on his neck, belly, groin (not on back or arms/legs).
He is covered in very very small pinpoint spots. They are raised slightly and very close together.
They are not very bright, you have to be close to him to see them.
They disappear with glass.
He also said he had a sore head. His head is cool but his body and legs are quite hot. He looks a bit "peaky" though.
He is feeling OK and happy and playing. He said he felt well enough to go to preschool (although whrn DH said he would pop in and pick up the shamrock he made yesterday he was happy to stay at hope and admitt he didn't feel very well!)
Any ideas anyone?
we are in Ireland so dont have one of you NHS phonelines. Doesnt seem serious enough to drag 2 kids to the GP to sit in a waiting room for over an hour. If its still there tonight we will phone the out-of-hours helpline, or go to GP tomorrow.
Thanks

Do you know what this prickly pinpoint-spot rash could be?
