dd1 is 10, she had a molluscum bastarding spot behind her knee that she picked and picked, it bled and bled and eventually went black and fell off and has now left a deep hole. It finally turn yellowy colour and scabbed over. Anyway, the day it went black dd developed a rash on her neck at school looked just a bit like a spotty heat rash. school said had got slightly wore through the day. By evening it had spread to side of her eye and front of neck. dd said it was quite painful to touch so we were worried it was shingles
Docs next day said not shingles just an allergy rash! This was last wednesday. Anyway rash is still there and is now still on neck and a bit on face, on backs of both elbows, under her hairline, back of both knees and localised around the molluscum spot that went bad (like its weirdly surrounding it). Rash now feels very rough like sandpaper. DD feels absolutely fine no illness whatsoever just the rash is painful and the molluscum spot is sore.
Any ideas anyone?? I thought maybe scarlet fever as the rash is typical of it but it seems to me that this rash was sparked off by her molluscum spot turning bad. can this occur??
