1yo dd has this rash that started on her stomach and back but is creeping up to her neck. It does fade and she's been immunized. She's tired and irritable and seems a little off colour but otherwise ok, no temperature or chills. We've called 111 but it's so hard to explain her rash and now I'm worried because she's gone to bed and it's difficult to assess if she's worsening while she's asleep. 111 said it's hard to say what it is because children get viral rashes all the time. As she otherwise seems relatively well they've said monitor her. She had her mmr jab on the 5th so it seems a little late for her to have reacted to that. Another child in the village she goes to a child minder has recently been diagnosed with scarlet fever...

This looks exactly what my DD when she was 3. I took her to the doctor as we were about to travel and his said it was 'just some sort of viral infection' and not to worry. We travelled and poor thing was quite poorly, very sleepy, not wanting to do anything. Her skin then turned a bit like she was peeling.

Anyway, she got better, we came back from hols, she went back to school....to find out they'd been an outbreak of scarlet fever and indeed, one boy whose birthday party she'd attended a few days before had come down with it. Reading more about it, it said that you also get a sore red tongue and she'd complained of it but didn't put the two together.

Incredibly, she got it again when she was 13. It is supposedly rare to get it twice but not impossible. This time the rash was mainly on her face, but it was the same looking rash. This time, the doctor (different one) confirmed it and she got antibiotics.

Took her to the gp today and apparently it's a delayed reaction to the mmr jab. Told to keep an eye on her temp but should be fine.
