Rash on back

[Chloe55]

Ds (14mth) started with a few little spots on the back of his neck yesterday morning - I thought it had something to do with maybe is bib rubbing on it/heat rash.

Anyway nursery asked me today if I had noticed the rash on his back, I said yeah and told them it was probably from his bib. However, when we got home I noticed it has got much worse today - it is covering all of the back of his neck and he has a few spots down his back too.

He seems ok ih himself, has been a bit grumpy in the middle of the night and when I picked him up from nursery but think he is teething more than anything (he hasn't ever got a rash through teething before)

Do you reckon it might just be a heat rash if he seems fine in evry other aspect?

chickenpox or have you changed washing powder ?

No, haven't changed washing powder - would chicken pox start on the neck - and before showing sypmtoms of poorliness?

Not always ill at all. dd's first one was on her shoulder, ds' behind his ear.

Both ds and dd had spots (chicken pox) on their back. Neither were ill before hand

Oh shit - I have never had it either! Best not to jump to conclusions yet though - gonna see if I can post a pic of it. Give me a sec

They don't seem to be bothering him too much.

They actually look worse than that - just took pic on camera phone which doesn't really show detail.

picture doesn't work...

Balls, try again in a min.

now?

hmm woudln't say poxy , yet, too much of a cluster. However if he is covered tomorrow you'll know for sure.

No, doesn't look like chicken pox to me, either. Heat? Or allergic reaction to something? Have you put sun cream on him there maybe?

Yeah, I think heat rash - not sure about the suncream, I guess nursery might have put some on him, no but that wouldn't explain it starting yesterday. I'm sure it is probably just heat rash though.
