Help. Daughters come out in a rash

[Mamaxo]

My 4 year old daughter come out with a rash on her legs and now it's spread to her back and cheeks, she has a cold other wise she's fine eating drinking ect. Any idea what it could be?

What does your GP say it is ?

I'd go straight to A&E if it's spreading

Leave now

Her legs look mottled rather than a rash. I would say this is a 111 job.

Have you done the glass test?

This.

Does it blanch? (Press a glass against it and it should fade) if it doesnt 999

Impossible to tell from your photo but looks like a viral rash which doesn't need to go to a&e unless it fails the glass test.

Do the glass test. If it doesn't blanch go straight to A&E. Otherwise, if you're worried I'd call 111 for advice.

I should have said I've done the glass test and it goes, we're actually away on a one night holiday so haven't spoken to a dr yet, home in the morning and I will. Don't think it's a&e job when she's eating drinking no temperature ect

Has she got red cheeks? It could be slapped cheek.

Has she been exposed to any new chemicals, bubble baths, fabric conditioner, etc? It's hard to tell from pictures, is it raised and itchy for her? It looks a little like my daughters when she had contact dermatitis to a new detergent

@YourSpryWriter yes her cheeks are red and rashy
@ClaustrophobicKipper haven't changed anything, used the same bubble bath, creams, shampoos ect nothing new x

I was going to suggest slapped cheek too, my DD had it and it spread to her entire body. GP confirmed it was slapped cheek. Took about 3-4 weeks to go completely, flaring up worse when she was upset.
Obviously this is just my experience

Former paediatric nurse here + I pretty much agree with everything said so far.It looks like lots of things.Face could indeed suggest Slapped cheek syndrome. If no temp unlikely to be scarlet fever.Wouldnt rule out Rubella ( German measles) Anything on their hands or feet? In or around their mouth? Could also be prickly heat ,as someone said already dermatitis from something new or chlorine in a swimming pool?

I'm not a doctor but I think it's Slapped Cheek. She isn't contagious any more and the rash will clear up on its own. Slapped Cheek seems to be going round at the moment.

@Ihavesomeideas nothing in or around her mouth or hands and feet, mainly legs then spread to back and cheeks, runny nose, slight cough, but eating, drinking and running around like no tomorrow x

I’d say slapped check too. My daughters spread all over her body and was an awful mottled rash but was blanching

Slapped check, both my younger children have just had it and it looked identical.

Thank you all, drs think it could possibly be measles

Hope they feel better very soon!

Hasn’t she been vaccinated?

@Cliedi yes she's fully vaccinated

Any child or Adult can still get measles even when fully vaccinated.It would probably take prolonged exposure to catch it when vaccinated .Its usually a milder version . Measles are incredibly contagious that's why it causes epidemics.It can live in the air of a room for 24 hours after a person with measles has been in there. Before we were allowed start Paediatric nursing training we all had our immunity levels checked. Chicken pox, measles etc. Anyone found to be low had a booster. I hope your child gets better very soon.

@Ihavesomeideas she was immune suppressed for a while due to medication but there sending us tests and will check her immunity to, her legs look terrible the rash is shocking x
