Posting here for traffic, my apologies!
My little boy is 6, he is autistic. He is going through a tough time at the moment. Finding school and new routines tricky, still settling into his new year group etc.
I won't go into all the details, the why's, how's etc, but he is displaying lots of signs of anxiety and stress.
Over the last week he keeps breaking out in a rash/spots.
Individual spots on his back, face and tummy, but a mixture of spots and all over redness on his bum, knees and backs of legs. It is slightly raised and bumpy.
It has happened about 5 times, and each time it disappears within a couple of hours.
The first time it happened we called 111 and they reviewed photos and said it just looks like something has irritated his skin and not to worry.
I'm just wondering if his high levels of stress and anxiety could actually be the cause of this? Has anyone else experienced this?
I have attached a google photo as an example how how it presents.
