My son woke up with a rash under his fringe a couple of days ago. It looked like chicken pox blisters but was only on his upper forehead and no where else. We wondered if it was a heat rash as he's been wearing a hat. Anyway, when I pulled out his bed, there were a few of these around the edges of his carpet Shock. Can anyone help to identify them. Sorry pic quality is awful. Obviously I've had a massive clean up and checked mattress etc, no sign of any more...

Yes that's the larvae of a carpet beetle. Very common. Pretty sure they don't bite or anything.

Those are carpet beetle larvae.

They don't bite but some people are allergic to them which can cause itchy bumps/rash.
