Please could someone help me identify these spots on DD please, she's had them a few days now, and seem to be increasing in size and itchiness. She only has these spots, started with one tiny spot on Friday, now she has 5 Confused

They are on her inner right arm, just above the elbow crease, and covers the area of a 50p.

Thanks in advance Flowers

thanks Lizs, that looks like it could be it. Have been getting conflicting advice re google = am I correct in thinking she can still go to school? Needs covering up for swimming pe etc?

If it is it could last months and get worse before better , so yes, she should carry on as normal. The other thing I could think if is if she has been playing out and come into contact with nettles or some other sap and reacted , but think it would be evident at the time.
