Rash on toddler?

10 replies

Attached 2 pics below. My toddler (DS2) came out in this rash earlier today, initially thought it was heat rash but hasn’t seemed to calm down at all, no other symptoms besides he’s cutting his last molars, hadn’t been on antibiotics in the last few weeks, well in himself and not scratching a whole lot.
his little sister (9 mo) had a virus last week which brought out a rash in her quite similar but not exactly the same. Any thoughts or advice? It blanches etc, mostly flat & only on tummy & around where nappy is.
thanks in advance !

Likely the same virus just presenting slightly differently, have you tried giving antihistamine?

@TeaRoseTallulah nope I’ve never tried it! Do you know any type I can give to his age? 2 x

Bless him, it does look like a viral rash. If he's well in himself you don't need to panic overnight but maybe give GP a call if it doesn't look better tomorrow morning, they never mind looking at children's rashes!

Looks like molluscum contagiousm. My daughter has had it on and off for around 18 months and it's always worse if she's had a virus

@user2848502016 I definitely will, like you said even just to have a look for peace of mind! There’s always something isn’t there?!

Have you used any moisturisers / different baby soap etc? My DD had a similar one, albeit more in her baby stage when I used aveeno moisturiser on her.
