Can slapped cheek be this mild?!

Hello! Slapped cheek is going round at my daughter’s nursery. Last weekend my daughter was very sensitive/upset and off her food, and then Tuesday morning she woke up with this small mark on her face. It’s not faded yet!

No other marks or fever symptoms. She’s acting completely fine now and eating all her food again.

Could this be slapped cheek? All the photos on Google show a much bigger rash/ red marks so I don’t know if it’s possible for it to appear this small?

I am pregnant with 2nd child and my daughter was around 2 other pregnant friends last weekend and I know it can be dangerous. All over 20 weeks.

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Hey did you ever get this confirmed? In the same boat!

Sadly not! It took about 4 weeks to go on her face.

I did tell the hospital and they tested my blood to see if I had been infected which I hadn’t. Could have been coincidence though!
