Does anyone know what this is? There are a few patches on her chest too. Dd- 6 years old. Noticed them about a week or so ago and they weren’t there before. Not particularly raised or itchy.

My daughter has a similar rash on her stomach and back and I am also confused and trying to get an appointment at the doctors for someone to take a look. She feels ok in herself, does your daughter as well? I thought they might be from chlorine as they appeared around the time she went swimming but not so sure now.

Hi @coffeeisthebest Yes she feels fine in herself. She had a virus about two weeks ago that gave her a scarlet fever type rash (but not SF) so maybe it is a hangover from that? Let me know if you find out what it is!

That looks like tinea versicolor

My daughter's is Pityriasis Rosea. It is viral and should go in a few weeks. She is ok to carry on as normal and she still feels fine. The medic we saw diagnosed it straightaway as hers started with one large spot. Apparently it is common but I have never heard of it.
