What could this rash be?

[Livingoffcoffee]

Have just seen this come up on DS's (17mo) back and a bit on legs. It's a bit more pink in person. He seems fine in himself.

Anxious / paranoid / FTM paired with a very chilled DH makes me question if I should worry about it - and nowadays my anxious head goes straight to coronavirus...

I should've upped the contrast on the picture...it doesn't look like much there, does it? Makes me look super crazy paranoid 🤦🏼‍♀️ But is much more pink in person

Could it be heat rash? It's been bloody roasting today.

It definitely could be, it's very warm here.

As long as he's acting fine in himself / no fever, so I just leave it be?

These have come up on his face, as well. (Full disclosure- slightly edited to show the contrast)

Am I overthinking it?

I'd take mine to the doctors for any rash, for my own peace of mind

That looks like a viral rash. DS gets the rash and is then ill the next day. I'm assuming you have done the glass test to rule out meningitis?

I don't intend to alarm you but I'd call 111 and see what they say. I read a news story yesterday or the day before where a 6 month old baby had a rash on its back and it was confirmed as Covid-19 after testing. Apparently a rash is one of the symptoms babies have that adults tend not to.
Get checked out x

Have done the glass test and that's fine. Most of it has now faded away, so don't know if that means it's likely just to be heat rash?
