Ds has a bright red blotchy rash on his cheeks, any ideas?

[clayre]

Ds woke up this mornign with bright red cheeks, one worse than the other, one side spread up to his hair line, its blotchy and 'rough' to the touch and is hot to touch!

He is totally fine in himself, eating nnormally, annoying his sister and no temp, any ideas before i take him to the docs tomorrow?

Thanks

teething?

slapped cheek???

dont think he's teething he's 4, there no teeth looking like they are ready to come through.

I thought maybe slapped cheek but dont know anyone thats had it recently

if my 2 get red cheeks too we'll know it's slapped cheek!

lol, well i didnt know!!! The only thing thats been on his face thats different is that suncream but that was saturday afternoon and the rash was there is morning!!!

doesn't sound like it is connected to the sun or suncream. Are you going to phone doc in morn?

I agree re slapped cheek

My Ds had it - started on his face and moved down his body over a week or so. It looked sort of lacy on his upper arms and legs.

my son gets like this after a dose of sunshine and I thought it was heat rash..but he could be allergic to sunscreen...would love to know what your diagnosis is.. (my son also puffs up)

yeah im going to take him to the Dr if its still there.

Thanks all i googled slapped cheek, doesnt look very nice when it spreads!
