arrghhh dd has woken with strange rash itching madly, do I ????

[melsy]

send her to nursury ? Im really not sure its fair if she has some lurgy , but she doesnt seem to be ill with it just very grumpy. Shes itching like mad and has broken the skin around the back of her neck. Im thinking Piriton , but not sure ? could just be heat rash or allergy to sun tan lotion yesterday, but Ive used it before with no reaction.

I would keep her home. Our nursery would send ds home in this case. How old is she? Yes, prition. Do you have some calamine lotion? or give her a luke warm bath with soda bicarbonate.

shes 2yrs, 9mths CADS . Ok Piriton it is , makes her dopey, so no chance of nursury on that. I do have calamine also. Will take her to pharmacy down the road , when Ive fully woken. ARRRRGGHHHHHH what a week, I have a really important meetings this wk at hospital for my pregnancy and now not sure if my mum will look after her.

ok Piritoned up now , pharmacist says its more likely heat rash and may be not allergy to sun tan lotion. Just have to watch her today , think we may get dopey poor little thing. Ive lso put on calamine aqueous cream, hope that helps her with the itching , although not sure if thats right with heat rash , does it block pores and make it worse???
