Hi all we couldn't get a GP appointment and are on the list for a call back today. My hubby has this rash come up on both sides of his torso and our toddler has it in the same place. I have felt awful for a week but have no rash. Both have had chickenpox. Not changed washing powder or diet. Both have antihistamines due to extreme hay-fever. I have a gut feeling anyone had similar?

@Threeeyfish I really hope your son is better soon what did they prescribe? So no hot tubs, no swimming pools, n change in diet or laundry detergent. My tiny toddler had it in the same place and his came first we thought it was his nappy as although we use Aldi Mammia they had a strong smell so we binned the packet. His have gone but husbands haven't and he has a few more tonight! We went to a wedding last week (without kids) stayed over in a hotel but I haven't got anything! Very odd!

Flucloxacillin For 7 days and a special shower cr. Definitely not measles as we asked this question and generally well in himself barring the rash!

I had a rash like this when I caught a viral infection (HMPV). Spots are still here after 2 months. Not itchy but fading very slowly!

Bed bug bites are usually in a line, so from the picture I think it's likely not that.

Agreed, it doesn't look like bedbugs (thankfully) - bedbug bites would be in a row or a little cluster.
