spot around mouth and on hands

[Sonya007]

our son is just over 3y old and has had a rash of tiny red spots around his mouth, which we thought was just a some eczema.

then he went back to nursery nand picked up a soar throat. he had a high temperature for a while and seemed better after a couple of days. now the rash has developed into some nasty looking spots around his mouth and on his hands, he also seems a little hot. prehaps people could look at the photos in my profile and comment?

Can't see your profile.
Could it be hand, foot and mouth? Could you goggle photos and compare?

I am trying to remember if my daughter had hand, foot and mouth disease once as well as impetigo, or if it was when they were working out what it was that was wrong with her. I do remember with impetigo, there were kind of like scabs on her knee that just never dried up, like soggy scabs. Second time she had it was round her mouth a bit

do you have a walk in clinic near you that could check him out?

[Sonya007]

yeah right. this is Lincolnshire, we dont have Doctors on call anymore. if you phone they tell you to goto Hospital to see an out of hours Doctor.

now his feet seem to be getting itchy. hopefully ill be able to see his Doctor tomorrow.

[Sonya007]

the Doctor recons its impetigo. bummer. well hes on antibiotics now, so hopefully his spots will go over the next few days.

Glad he is sorted. They do tend to clear up fairly quickly
