This evening I noticed a brigt red rash appear on one of her forearms and then in patches on her other arm and her bottom - no where else.

I called nhs direct but was told no-one could speak to me until 2am.

dd is not too bothered by it, she is asleep in the lounge now where i can keep an eye on her. I gave her piriton at 9.30pm. the rash does look less in places but it has moved to other areas.

she ate nothing different today except for haribos from her aunty - she has never had them before - but that was at 1pm and the rash appeared about 8.30pm.

its very strange, not sure what to do, dh is out and i cant bloody drive. should i call a friend and take her to a&e or am i over reacting, she is fast aleep and seems unbothered???

looking at her, she has big dark circles too.

what could this rash be?
