[dressedupnowheretogo]

or do i take to my gp ???

tia

Oh no Poor little one. No advice I'm afraid, just lots of sympathy!

bump

they look like little blisters. I knew the minute I saw them on dd and had never seen them before (except yonks ago when I had them). They really are like nothing else.

I rang doctors and they said not to bother taking her in unless worried.

HOw old is she ?

get the following:

piriton
bicarb of soda (put in bath)
calamine (but dd refused to have this on despite it being pink !)

Prepare for a long sit in....

DUNWTG - give your surgery a call and say that you think LO may have the pox and see what they say.

well yesterday she had these 4 random lumps come up with red round them

this moring they have gone apart from two and now she has random red patches that are blotchy plus she had really bad diahorrea yesterday which caused the most red nappy rash i have ever seen despite her being naked the whole time and bathing her cool water not using wipes etc

she is ok in herself bt yesterday was really clingy

maybe take her to the doctors if you're worried - it doesn't sound like dd's chicken pox looked like but you never know !

im gonna wait til me mum gets here

see what she thinks

ok right now since i last posted there are loads of little red blotches coming up

legs and armsnone on her back tho

Starts like red insect bites then they gradually get a pusy cream head then scab. ds' first were behind his ear , dd's on shoulder.

it looks more like nettle rash at the moment

My DD has it at the moment. First two spots were red and large. I thought they were midge bites at first but they got quite fierce, then the blisters appeared in droves. They look like water blisters, some large and some small. Eventually they kind of weep and then crust over. They are on her face, her ears, eyes, mouth, in her hair and all over her body, on her bottom and some around her fanjo. Lovely!

could it be hives then, reaction to food or contact with something unusual? Piriton still good (if over a year)

i dont knoew she now has lots of little red spots with heads on

i dont think its hives she has had no new foods or been anywhere to get them

How is she now?

shes been asleep foe a couple of hors jst woke is ok bit whingy

legs and arms are really blotchy her temp 36.7

but look more like clusters of pin pick size spots ifswim?
