My little boy (nearly 2) has been poorly now for a few days, and I noticed these marks on his foot yesterday, and today I’ve noticed them on his leg, I thought seeing the initial one yesterday on his foot possibly h,f&m but now he’s got them on his leg so I’m not sure. He’s got a cough, cold, temperature and just genuinely unwell. Pictures attached when they upload x

Again, as people have said, phone 111 for advice.

Either ring 111 or pop into a pharmacy if you are worried

Are you giving him Calpol? Is he eating and drinking and going to the toilet ok?

Flea? Bites? Chicken pox?

This is today. And he’s still quite poorly. I’m not sure what to do I didn’t phone 111 as he perked up quite a bit. But today has been the worst he’s been since the spots/rash appeared

111 hasn’t closed, if concerned phone them. I no you can’t see anything dodgy on here but I wouldn’t be posting pictures of my child in the bath with his face visible on a very public forum OP.

Looks like hand foot and mouth. My children had them all over but mainly on hands feet and all over groin

Not a hospital job. Could phone 111 for advice.

It looks like Hand, Foot and Mouth disease to be honest.

If it is, it's a viral infection which typically lasts 7 to 10 days and is just treated like any mild viral illness.

That’s exactly what I think. Horrible for a few days. He will be excluded from childcare settings as it’s very contagious

Any update OP?
