Ringworm?

fisharefriendsnotfood · 05/10/2016 08:11

It's completely smooth... and just on feet and hands

I agree it doesn't look much like hand, foot and mouth I'm not sure if mumsnet is the best place to get a proper answer. Would you be able to take your DS to a see a pharmacist? They would be able to advise whether it is something that can be treated with an over-the-counter cream, or whether a GP appointment is necessary.

I agree doesn't look like HF&M.
Ring worm possibly.
Has he been running around barefoot outside? It doesn't look exactly like a tic bite but it's the only other thing I can think of.
I'd try to get to a pharmacist or dr to find out.

Googling tells me hives can be in a round shape too. Does it itch?

fisharefriendsnotfood · 05/10/2016 08:30

No itching and he isn't poorly.... it's very faded this morning too. Barely visible

He had preschool immunisations two weeks ago wonder if linked to that?

My mum had a look (retired doctor) and says this is neither hfm nor ringworm
It's an urticaria rash which could be of no importance or part of a more systemic problem especially if any thing in mouth or confined exclusively to legs.
She suggests seeing a paediatrician if it is still active.
