Advice quick as poss please

[StrawberrySnowflakes]

dd just got out of bath and has red rash under arms, along arms and on tummy and sides?
she has over last couple of days developed chicken pox type spots, but i personally think these are from viral infection as shes really bunged up and this always seems to be one of the first signs, but not the rash(she has already had chicken pox twice!)???

when i check, is it supposed to disapear or remain under glass?

fade

disappear if it's safe, stays if dodgy HTH

thankyou..maybe a heat rash cos of were it is???..wil give dd some calpol i think and test it

here are some pics of what it shouldn't look like and some info.

Hope your LO is well again soon.

it looks a bit more than comfortable like the first pic and doesnt dissapear just fades under glass!..am on ophone to nhs direct.
its all over her arms now

shit they cut me off!

flip! 3 1/2 hour wait for call back

from NHS direct or your out of hours service?

nhs direct

do you have an out of hrs service you can call for your local gp?

cant you take her to new doc or a&e?

measles?

if they're going to take that long, keep an eye on the temp, the rash and your dd - it's as much about how the child is as the appearance of a rash - and if you're not happy take her to a&e

get a felt tip and mark where the rash stops.

Then you can see in half an hour how much it has spread.

its gone????
dried her from bath(was not hot, so wasnt that)
just put her in her pants, no creams or pyjamas and gave her 10ml of infnat paracetamol??!!
chicken pox type are still there and very red/angry looking but the rash has totally disapeared??

a virus or heat then maybe?

my daughter had exactly the same symptoms in october i rushed her down to surgry and it was a virus that she had was told it would go in next 24/48 hrs but it could get worse before it went she went to bed woke up next morning and it had gone just got told to give her calpol and paracetemol

wow, scary hour that!..thanks for all the quick advice!

came home from our christmas party today, dd had been clingy and upset most of afternoon, raging temp and rash covering entire middle from neck to bottom..paracetamol didnt work, just givem some medised, temp lowering slowly and rash fading ever so slightly..poor lamb, shes got something!
