Blanching rash - what to do?

My 11mo DC is covered in a rash after a settle session at nursery yesterday. It’s blanching, she doesn’t have a fever and generally seems fine.

I’m trying to get through to the GP but chance of an appointment is low. I know their response will be “if you’re worried go to A&E”.

Will this need A&E or can I monitor her at home?

We’re quite rashy as a family, so I’d put it down to a virus and not think much of it. Is there something you’re particularly concerned about?

Rashes can look dramatic but if blanching in a child who's not looking unwell in other ways, unlikely to represent anything nasty.

Thanks @Cheeesus @Unseenentity

I will keep an eye on her but she seems fine for now.
