Dd isb13 months. She came up with this little circular rash about 3 days ago, it now seems to be spreading!

Very worried but can’t get a gp appointment for 3 weeks. Sorry for the bad scribble!

Its quite hard to tell from the picture. Could be ecsema or possibly ring worm. Id suggest going to see a pharmacist, they can help with things like this and tell you if you need to see a dr or not

Not in any way a medical professional

To me, it looks a bit like hives/allergy.
I get hives when I get too hot, has the weather been sunny lately?
Also, is it itchy for her?
Idk if she can take them but try antihistamines (I don't have kids so have no idea what they can/can't take).

It's most likely a little patch of eczema. However it isn't the clearest picture. Compare online with ringworm pictures. Just in case.

Wash her face with oils and creams, and use a barrier cream for a while. Little cheeks can get sore with all the face wiping!

Ringworm or maybe eczema. Go and see your local pharmacist.

Not a Dr so treat this with as much distrust as you like.

Looks to me like Urticaria which I developed 2 years ago so badly I was referred to dermatologist. It’s also called Hives. Bloody itchy and if your your unlucky can spread across whole body.
From personal experience It can be increased by stress, sugar in foods and caffeine.
Antihistamine helps, Fexofenadine is best but I have no idea if it is safe for the very young so you would need proper advice and no idea if it is an over the counter drug.
Also Dermol 500 lotion is really great, you can buy this over the counter in boots or any pharmacy and rub it onto the itchy area. I find it brings the spot down and reduces the itch.
