Impetigo?

Retsina24 · 13/12/2022 22:02

Impetigo was my thought too. Is it sore? Itchy?

alsonotmyname · 13/12/2022 22:02

Maybe - it doesn't itch though and doesn't blanch

Hand foot and mouth? X

alsonotmyname · 13/12/2022 22:05

Inside his mouth is fine and no rash anywhere else on his body

The four larger spots on the right hand side are beauty spots/ moles

Are they blisters on his lip?

alsonotmyname · 13/12/2022 22:30

No just chapped/ dry

Impetigo which can be caused by strep A which is going around. Will need to see GP. Very contagious

alsonotmyname · 13/12/2022 23:03

Impetigo seems to be the consensus, I'll let you know how it looks tomorrow

Is it like a dark circle around his mouth?

alsonotmyname · 14/12/2022 07:59

It was, this morning it's just at the sides under his mouth

Sent you a PM.

My child has scarlet fever and he had a few spots like this around his mouth. Also the sandpaper rash on his chest and back.

Look at his tonsils for white spots, red tongue.

alsonotmyname · 14/12/2022 08:26

No rashes anywhere's else, tongue normal and tonsils look ok, I'll see what happens as the day goes on

So even though the first question I asked him was 'did you do it with a glass?' and the answer was no, it turns out that's exactly what happened
