Hi everyone son is just turned one. Has came out with spots the last two days.

They look like they have been picked and that's made then angry. Like when kids pick a scab. Keep and eye on them but I wouldn't be going to the GP with them.

It looks a very mild case from the pictures. So they may unfortunately get it again!

Thankyou for your reply @LuckysDadsHat
they are on his back so unsure how he may have knocked them. I’ll keep an eye.
he has hardly any on his front. They are mainly in his hair, face, neck and a few on his back

They look just like my sons did around the top of his nappy area when he had it at 7 months old. We sent pictures to 111 and the lady told us they often get like that when they're hot.

Apparently it's quite common to have 1 "Queen" spot that is rather red and angry compared to the others.

Also try Poxcillin to sooth them. Can buy it in most pharmacist.
