Hello, on hold to docs but wondering if anyone had any ideas? DC says it’s very itchy too. Also on both arms and legs too.

Not sure I could even hazard a guess- the picture isn’t very good. I’d take some more photos in better lighting for the doctor to look at.

Much better photos! Might be eczema? (I’m not a doctor)

I hope you get some help soon.

Possibly scabies? Is the itch worse at night?

If you don't get a response from your GP today I would pop along to your local pharmacy for advice tonight. Usually the pharmacys in large supermarkets are open late.

My daughter has food allergies and rashes and we find antihistamines help with the itching. The pharmacist can advice if it would help your daughter plus creams which might help whilst you get the advice from the GP.
