It could be sweat rash or an allergic reaction. Wait and see if the spots keep coming or if they blister and scab. If you are still not sure by Monday, a dr or pharmacist will be able to tell you.

dont think sweat rash as been since early yesterday evening and i stripped him off thinking heat rash first(which would be amazing as no hot bit in house).

my ds had a rash before christmas. looked like hives then went to spots leaving skin rough to touch. Very itchy! It was a virus.
Chicken pox looks like blisters
