Blotchy bumpy cheeks

DD who is 9 has blotchy cheeks. It has been like it for a couple of weeks now. I can't seem to put a finger on what makes it worse or better.

Anyone seen similar?

Looks like hives because of an allergic reaction...

Yes, it could be. I will give her an antihistamine and see if it goes down. I'll also see if I can work out what she could be allergic to. Thanks

Ds has this. I think his is when he gets a little bit hot and sweaty so could be a heat rash? He says its itchy but antihistamine cream helps

Ds2 has had hives in his face and neck since last night. He's never had them before but he's been playing out a lot the last week so I'm putting it down to grass/pollen.

@Justdowhatyouweretold did you ever find out what was causing these? Have they gone now? We’ve got a similar thing going on here!
