Fifth Discease -Please tell me if it is possible ?

for a child to have this without really seeming ill and without having the rash on face?
dd2 (18months)has a lacy/ringed type rash which keeps appearing and fading around her body.

My niece had it and didn't seem ill and never had the rash on her face.

[Beauregard]

It is a really strange rash
I showed my mom and she has never seen anything like it.

[expatinscotland]

Take her in. My niece's was diagnosed by their paed - children go to paeds for just about everything in the US.

Thanks
It keeps coming and going and popping up elsewhere so wasn't sure if it was worth taking her.
I am off to work soon so will have to see if dp can sort something out.

[expatinscotland]

If he can pop in, she could even see a nurse for a quick look. Can't hurt!

my 2 had this and yes that is the rash that comes with it lol, my 2 had it on their face and all over their bodys, u will find it gets warm after activities or after a bath or when they are upset etc, and also for the record both my children seemed well with it

[loopylou6]

Hives is a rash that keeps on appearing and disappearing on different parts of the body

Hi
The Gp said it is nettle rash and she has a sore throat.
Is that the same thing as hives?

[raspberryberet]

Hives is the same thing as nettle rash. Also called Urticaria.

Is often an allergic reaction, so Piriton would help.

[Beauregard]

Thanks

[belgo]

it can be an allergic reaction to a virus - so if she has a virus causing a sore throat, then her immune system is in overdrive and causing the hives

[Beauregard]

Aha why couldn't the GP explain it simply.
Thanks
