My 7year old had a slight redness on the back of his neck this morning that I just put down to him having an itch.
However, within an hour the same rash appeared on his arms just above his elbows & just under his knees at the back. I rang my GP and was told by the receptionist that a spreading rash doesn't qualify for an emergency appointment. I went to see the pharmacist who prescribed Piriton & said it should help. The rash kept getting worse. Eventually I got a Gp appointment & I explained the problem, he saw the rash which had spreAd even more & he gave me a stronger antihistamine & Zerobase cream.
They have dulled the itch but not for long & the rash is still spreading. My son is asleep now but I can see that it has grown since my last pics.
I haven't changed soap powder, soap etc nor has he eaten anything different or come in contact with anything different.
Any help would be gratefully received
