Any idea what this rash is on DS?

[Kiyua]

He's 18. Felt poorly and few days, cold type thing, just discovered this on both hips.

No way I'll be able to get a Dr's appointment for today 😞

Looks like a standard viral rash, which would make sense if he has a cold.

Thankyou. I have health anxiety so always need reassurance.

Could it be hives? I've given him a antihistamine just in case.

It looks a bit like hives to me.
My DD had something similar break out on her hips when she was little, the doctor didn’t know what it was, said to leave it a few days and see if it fades, which it did. It never came back.

I was going to say it looks like hives too. (An allergic reaction to something.)

It's hives

Yes sorry, to clarify viral infections are a known trigger for hives.

Hi it definitely looks like hives to me. Giving an antihistamine was a good idea. Obviously if it gets worse or he has other symptoms go get it looked at by a doctor. Xx

Hives are often present with Covid.

Thankyou everyone

The antihistamine has calmed it down alot already.

Looks like hives to me which can definitely be a reaction to a viral infection
