its getting lumpier and redder by the minute. DD (23m) wont let me touch it and is saying "Sore!"

She is in a good mood - had no sleep today as she was excited about her Ninny being here (my mum) but she had not touched anything and worned a t-shirt all day so ive taken it off plus we went swimming this morning.

i wonder whats the lumpy scaldy rash is??

oh, that looks sore. get some piriton and it will relieve the itchy/soreness.

could be a reaction the the water at the pool.

ask the pharmacist to have a look, they can advise better than us could it be a bite?

Take your dd to the chemist with you, they usually have good advice about unexplained rashes.

normalflora · 26/09/2006 17:13
