What is this rash?

I've already made a docs appt today and sent pictures through e-consult. Any ideas? DD isn't poorly, no fever or any other illness symptoms. She has been poorly with a sore throat and cough but that's cleared up. The rash does disappear with the glass test. She's not itching it at all. But she's covered head to toe.

No change to any soaps or washing powder. I've given her piriton and it's not done anything so I don't think it's an allergy as she's been indoors with me for the last few days due to her cough that's now cleared up. It's very textured. Could this be the start of chicken pox? She's absolutely covered!

Hmm, I was going to say hives but if it's not itching then perhaps not that. When my DD had the same I washed her, coated her in aloe vera gel and put her in fresh clothes. Turned out she had an allergy to a washing powder my mum had used. It went away as quickly as it came. However if this is not itchy I would run it by the doc.
