So my daughter woke up today and I noticed this on her up! They look like little dots! :/ she did fall out of her bed last night! But surely this wouldn't of happened.?? Can anyone recognise what this is? I don't want to take her to the doctors for nothing :/. Xxxx

Do the marks hurt or itch? Maybe she's been bitten by something?

I'd see a pharmacist.

DD2 would get marks like that on hot days if she rolled her sleeve up. I think it might have been a form of sweat/heat rash.

It's not inching or anything :/ she didn't know it was there until I got her dressed and saw it! We was in the garden all day yesterday as we had a bbq! So might be a bite! I'll contact doctors for an appointment xxxx

I'd go to a pharmacist, they should be able to help. If it is not troubling her I may even just ignore it!

Yes I'll go to them first! As I don't think it's a bite :/ just loads of little dots! But when you said sweat rash and heat! It does look like that! It's not bothering her 1bit either! What's a good thing :) I'll go see what pharmacist say! Xxxxx

Looks like heat rash or a reaction to bites. See the pharmacist if you're anxious. It doesn't warrant a trip to the doctors.

It looks like a reaction to touching some foliage with poisonous sap. ( phototoxic reaction?). I agree a trip to a pharmacist if it get worse.
