I came on here wondering about DS' rash and whether there was a virus going round that could be causing it.

It looks identical to your baby's, how long has he had it? DS is at the tail end of a cold, sore throat etc so I imagine some sort of viral rash.

How old is he? Otherwise well? Any coughs/colds/temps? It looks very like scarlet fever (except dd's rash stayed skin coloured). Not a doctor
