baby with itchy rash

hoping this sounds familiar to someone: ds2 (almost 1) has come down with a strange rash. he's got several patches of tiny raised little red blisters, one on his neck, some on his arms. they appear to be very itchy (as he tries to scratch them), but he doesn't seem ill (no temperature, eating well), though he has gone of his breastfeeding a bit. i have put some calamine (sp?) cream on them which seems to help. was just wondering if anyone has any ideas what it could be... if he still has them on monday i might just go to gp with him. i wanted to go today, but ds1 has got this awful D&V bug at the moment, so i didn't really want to drag him out of the house...
in their nursery chickenpox is doing the rounds, but they both got that back in april (ds2 was just 5 months, poor soul). any ideas..?

dd has just got over slapped cheek, she also had red blotchy patches on her arms and legs which were itchy and she was a bit fluey, however gp said once rash came out she was no longer infectious,just a thought.
