No spots around the mouth or bottom, but how do you get that i wash her when she goes to the loo??

ds had it but didnt get any in his mouth...and i think they come in stages anyway so mouth might be last

nothing to do with hygiene - so dont worry!
will see if i can find some more info...it is really really common in small children btw

No it doesn't sound like chicken pox to me, or hand foot and mouth if she doesn't feel ill.
