My 21 month old DD has a rash. I noticed it on Saturday, thought it might be chickenpox and went to pharmacy who said it doesn’t look like chickenpox, could be an allergic reaction and to take Piriton.
Piriton didn’t help so I did an econsult with the doctor this morning assuming they’d get her in to see it. The doctor called at 4pm saying it’s chickenpox. I asked how they knew that as- the rash is only on bottom, arms and legs (not torso, hands, feet, mouth), she has no temperature, the spots aren’t itchy/she isn’t scratching them, her appetite is fine. Doctor said to treat like chickenpox anyway but didn’t answer my questions.
Took her to another pharmacist to gat calamine lotion. He looked and again saw it doesn’t look like chickenpox. I’m inclined to believe the two pharmacists who’ve seen it rather than a GP who hasn’t seen anything other than the attached photos but am I wrong?
