Any GP or health professionals that can help?!?

My son got a red rash on his cheek last night. It looked exactly like slap cheek. Was warm to touch but it went after about an hour. He’s fine in himself with no temperature and no other symptoms. Tonight I rolled up the sleeve on his sleep suit at dinner and there was another big red rash, exactly the same as the one on his cheek last night. He has no other rashes anywhere else and after an hour and a half it went again.
I’ve booked a doctor’s appointment for the morning but wondered if anyone had any idea what it looks like.
we thought maybe slap cheek virus or an allergic reaction. But any help would be great appreciated

Try giving antihistamine to see if it’s an allergy.

If you think it’s spreading, draw a dotted line around the edge

Could be an urticaria rash as a symptom of a virus. Does it change shape/size at all?

No it doesn’t change at all. Comes up like that and then goes within an hour or 2. Doctors appointment this morning so hopefully get to the bottom of it

It does sound like a viral/urticaria rash. Hope the appt goes well, it’s horrible when things like this happen and you have to wait for an appt ☺️
