Strep A rash

My DD has been a bit unwell over the past few days with cold like symptoms, complaining of a tummy ache every now & again & hasn’t much of an appetite. She’s now developed a little rash on places on her body & it does feel a little rough to touch (I’ve attached a pic of rash). She doesn’t have a temperature or hasn’t complained of a sore throat & we have also checked her throat & cannot see anything. She mixed with a few cases of strep a last week of term so wondered if this could be it coming out now?

Would like advice please? Do you think this could be strep or just a viral rash & do you think I should make a doctor appt tomorrow?

DD had clinically diagnosed strep A, she had cold /flu like symptoms and tummy ache, few days later high temperature for one day, then complained of sore throat and we saw the spotty tongue. We had a nightmare acquiring antibiotics and only acquired half the dose- she was fine though. There was no body rash.
Have you done the glass test ? To rule out anything else?
Anything in her bath, eczema?
I would make an appointment tomorrow and try not to worry.

@Suzi888 thanks for replying.

I haven’t done the glass test but when I’ve pressed the rash it disappears. Nothing different in the bath.

I think a GP is needed tomorrow though. I can’t help but worry now I’m a nightmare when either of my DD’s are unwell.
