Does this look an allergy? Toddler

Hi there,

I’m wondering anyone could have a look at a picture of a rash my toddler has and see whether they think it looks like an allergy please?

This rash appeared on my toddler (18m) yesterday morning. It started on his tummy but then spread to his arms and legs.

I took him to a pharmacist who said I needed to see a GP as it looked like an allergy or something that needed treatment. I ended up at my walk in centre because there were no appointments with my GP.

They first thought it was chicken pox, then went through scarlet fever/slapped cheek but he doesn’t have a temperature. In the end they said probably a virus which caused a rash and sent me on my way with some piriton. They said his glands were up slightly and his tonsils a bit swollen.

He had piriton last night and some this morning and this is what the rash looks like now. I can’t shake the feeling that it’s an allergy to something. He is generally fine in himself but he has had some loose nappies over the last few days.

Thanks

I’d say it does sound like a virus too.

I'd probably go with virus too, I'm afraid.
