It stated a few days back. She does have sensitive skin but this has never happened before. The only thing I can think of is that my in laws recently got a cat that she me been visiting ,

It seems to be spreading . She itchy and uncomfortable . I have just bought piriton sk hoping that helps . I'm considering taking her doctors on Monday. Any advice ?

Piriton liquid is better than tablets, seems to help reduce the swelling quicker. I still rely on it for DS16 who is prone to hives.
It could be cats or could even be a preservative in food.
You could see a pharmacist rather than a doctor if you’re concerned.

How old is she?

It could be Uticaria - I think I'd get seen her seen by a professional before Monday to be honest.

Hi she's 6. She did recently get headlife from school but I caught it pretty early and just in the middle of treatment. She's had it once before and I've used the same treatment and she's never reacted like this so I don't think that could be it?

She's fine in herself and playing but obviously uncomfortable . I have been using the liquid piriton which seems to help. It's just the rash spreading that has me nervous.

I'll go to get her seen tomorrow
