Just wondered, has anyone had a child be COVID +'ve with a pretty main symptom being a rash?

Mine. Well, I haven’t actually tested my 8 month old but I’m positive and we have the exact same symptoms. Neither of us have the 3 main ones. I’m snotty & headachey. She’s snotty & keeps rubbing her head.. she’s also had a rash all over. Torso, face, back of knees, neck.. but to be honest, she gets a rash every cold/virus she’s ever caught. As does my elder DD. Both very rashy when poorly. For us, I don’t think it’s exclusively a covid thing. More an illness thing.

Zoe app website has pics of the different types of Covid rashes. Not uncommon at all.

Thanks. Son is off school isolating and has no other symptoms than a rash which started this afternoon. Looks like an allergic reaction and piriton and a cool bath helps but 3 hours later, it's back.

The contact he had with a positive case was outside and not for long on Tuesday but starting to wonder if this is COVID.

@MoirasRoses locations of his rash identically match those you listed

@MoirasRoses hope you both feel better soon. Just woken up to my 6 year old's rash back!
