Anyone know what this could be? It isn't sunburn/windburn.
He first came out with it yday morning - 2 days before he had a blotchy mottley looking torso. He feels hot but temp is 37.2. He said it was itchy sometimes. Has been eating and drinking.

'There is no benefit of not going to school (or work) if you have this infection as you are only infectious before you develop the rash.'
if he seems droopy or otherwise not himself then maybe keep him home but he should be ok to go 
(don't you get August Bank Holiday in Scotland???)

just googled - I see you get the first Mon in August instead of the last. A much better time to have it
