ds is covered head to toe

[festiveface]

in an itchy sweat rash type thing. i have been putting eurax cream on it. am i doing right? it's not a doctors trip is it?

just check its not chicken pox as there is lots of it going about.

festiveface, chickenpox look like blisters that after a few days pop, leaving angry red marks that scab over in about a week. My ds1 came out in chickenpox last Monday, he is still off school and still has spots that have yet to pop. He had a very high temperature with it too and was very poorly, especially on day 4. HTH

dd1 has heat rash on the back of her neck and shoulders where her long hair hands down and she is refusing to wear it up! .

she's 3, btw.

just rubbed in some weleda creme on it.

no, i'm sure it's not the pox. he has very rashy skin in summer anyway along with the hayfever but with this sun he has become covered. looks like small red dots and blotchy bits too.
he already takes antihistamines. should i go to the doctors or keep him off school do you think?
