Hello, I was wondering if any parents have had experience with symptoms like my baby..
She is 13 weeks old and very happy, drinking well and passing loads of lovely wet nappies ect. For a week now, nearly everyday she goes from being very happy to screaming and a red and blue rash appear on her legs starting from her feet up to the top of her thighs. It last between 5-20 min and she is inconsolable until the rash starts to calm down. After she is perfectly fine again. I can’t think of anything that could have caused it and there are not any consistency’s in when it happens. I am currently in the process of getting her referred. The GP’ she has seen have never seen anything like it and it doesn’t present like a typical allergy ect.
The closest symptoms is that if Reynauds.
Has anyone had this experience before?
See attached picture.
Thank you

Hi Lizyjm13

With a young baby it's always ok to ask a doctor to check her over again. They really won't mind. Did the GP see the rash?

Young babies can go very red/purple when crying hard. Their skin is thin and veins under the surface can be more visible when they are upset. Does the skin look mottled? I think it's called cutis marmarata, maybe google pics and see if it looks similar.

Honestly, if you're worried, take a video and show it to your doctor x
