Hi. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old who have both had fevers over the weekend and have now both come out in a strange rash/rashes. My son (3) has very localised red bumps almost like ache which came on very fast, inside elbows, backs of knees and backs of arm pits very badly and then some more sporadic around his nose and mouth and on his bum.
My daughter (1) has had similar on the backs of her knees but it seems milder but more wide spread on her and is all over. We have been dealing with mild eczema with her for 6 months or so and this is in similar areas but worsening quickly.
Doctor diagnosed as post viral rash over the phone and photos sent to a medical friend said it wasnt rosea.
It has now stopping getting worse on my son but might still be slowly worsening on my daughter so i am mainly asking for her. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be bothering either of them so not itchy but it does look very sore. I also don,t know if i should be applying any creams. We have steroid cream for eczema, sudocrem, e45 etc.
Im also worried if it is contagious as they are supposed to be going into childcare tomorrow.
