DD had these on both her palms, nothing anywhere else on her body. No other symptoms.

Is it hand, foot and mouth that's just not appeared on her mouth/feet or allergy to something?

She was playing in a sandpit yesterday and digging through a pile of cut weeds/plants that had ivy/old nettles and various other plants in. She didn't cry as if she's been stung and she's not itching it.

I don't want to wast a gp appointment if it's just an allergy rash, out local surgery is always packed and is asking people to think before making an appointment of it's really necessary.

HFM or something else?

I wouldn't go to the gp personally as there's nothing they can do. Just keep an eye on it.

I meant to say that I normally see a pharmacist if I'm not sure about something.

I was leaning towards asking the pharmacist, I have to pick up a prescription there later anyway. Thanks Smile

Playing with ivy? Google poison oak rash and poison ivy rash. Give a nasty rash
