I noticed today that my 11 month old had a small scratch on his upper back , i didn't really think much of it as he's very active all always bumping into things. When I bathed him I then noticed what looks like a slight petechiae raah on his neck/shoulder, its very faint and small and I am an extreme worried . Its sort of in place for here his pram straps of highchair straps could rub against him, he is fine in himself, still very active, happy and eating and no temperature. Should I be worried or and I ober thinking this ? Not sure if he has bumped himself or its from the straps, or something more sinister??

Do they loose colour when you stretch them out?

No they don't

If they don’t blanch under a glass you need to go straight to A&E.

Chances are it is from the pushchair straps. I say this as a parent of a child who loved a non blanching rash as a baby/toddler and we had plenty of a&e trips for it.

Could you phone 111, and perhaps speak to a nurse? Or is there a walk in centre you could visit? I really wouldn't panic though, especially if it's not spreading, it's faint and your child is otherwise well.
