Rash on dd's back and chest

Really worried about a really angry looking rash that's broken out on dd's body. She is 9months. It's been there for a little while just as red, dry skin and I thought nothing of it but when dh was bathing her tonight he found her whole body is covered in itchy looking red spots, worst on her back.
She's also got a little cold and last night she woke up twice which is unlike her.

Anyone know what this might be?

Yes, scarlet fever, scarletina may also be possibilities I would think. Not as scary as it sounds though

She's sleeping now, don't want to wake her and strip off her clothes now and looking at her tongue now... not going to sleep tonight, why do they do it to us?!

Just googled scarlet fever and I'm pretty sure it's not that. Spots are too far apart.

Thankyou anyway for your help. If she wakes up again I might try to get a GP home visit but if not I'm reluctant to disturb her really.
