Hi, first time posting! My little girl has had a flu for a few days, nothing too serious but this morning she's woke up with this rash.

Any ideas on what it could be? I can't get her a gp app for today

Hi OP, if you couldn't speak with a GP today, I would visit a pharmacist or call 111. It could be a post-viral rash but I would prefer it to be checked. Does the rash feel like sandpaper? I'm wondering if it could be scarlet fever?

Hi, did you ever find out what the rash was? My DS has the flu and developed a rash on the palm of his hands. We were worried it was kawasaki and tempted lasted 12 days! He was swabbed and it was thr flu so they said that explains all his symptoms but I didn't think you usually get a rash with the flu!
