Daughter woke with a rash on her face, has anyone seen this?

[Diva4646]

Hi Guys...
My daughter has woke up with a strange rash on her face? I will take her to have it looked at I was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this before? She doesnt seem to have it anywhere else?

Thanks in advance

How old is your DD?

my 18 yr old woke up with a rash all over her face a few months ago - it was vey blotchy and remained for just over a week - nurse was pretty unfussed, wasn’t sure if it was something viral or an allergy - just suggested antihistamines and cool water spray

Argh sorry, just seen the pics - it didn’t look like that, ours was very flat and all over rather than spotty …. Yours doesn’t look like an allergy rash

Possibly impetigo/school sores. If so, highly contagious and can come with fever and headache. Treatment is an antibiotic prescription cream.

Whatever it is, make sure she’s constantly washing her hands and not touching until you can see a doctor.

Could be chicken pox…face not usually where it starts I don’t think though. Is she well in herself?

I thought it was chicken pox

She has been a little bit ill common cold over the past couple of weeks really snotty. And a couple of days with a high temp

Probably sound really naive here but what are school sores?

Hi! She's just short of being 3 x

It does look like chicken pox but it’s unusual for it to be nowhere else on her body.

Yeah, could be chicken pox. One of mine had it on her face.

Has she had chicken pox? Is it only on one cheek?

also, could it be hand foot and mouth. I think you can get blisters on the face as well as in the mouth.

It's both sides of her cheek and she hasn't had chicken pox yet?

It looks more like acne to me than chickenpox - they look a bit like later chickenpox, but not early days.
However is it just in that line, because it could be shingles - is there any chance she's had chickenpox or the vaccine? If that's a possibility then I think you do need to get her checked out as it's close to her eye.

However it may be a "viral rash" roughly meaning she has a virus and a rash and they have no other answers. Ds used to get them, and more often they were flat, but he did have one bout where they were raised, although not as bad as them.

Sorry x-post.
I'd get that checked - you may be able to do it at the pharmacy or out of hours as she's been ill too. At that age it's worth knowing.

They look like developing quite blistery, fluid filled, which made me think chicken pox. If it is then probably throughout the day you will see more blisters develop elsewhere. Temp and diarrhoea were the first symptoms in my DD if I remember. A pharmacist might be worth a visit this morning.

Hand, foot and mouth? Any spots on her feet or hands?

School sores = impetigo, highly contagious bacterial skin infection. I would be going to the GP or pharmacist.

I'm just about to take her to the walking centre so I shall I update you all... thank you all I'll be in touch shortly

How’s your daughter? Hope she’s ok.

Was it chicken pox?

Hi Everyone, so we were sent to the medical plus, who then referred us to the walk in centre as they thought it could have been scarlet fever? After 5 hours of waiting doctors have said it is viral? She is still poorly today so im just going to keep an eye on her, thank you to everyone for their concern and well wishes x
