Rash on DD (12), seems to be getting worse

[ClawedButler]

DD noticed this rash this morning, and it seems to be getting worse. Would a trip to a pharmacist be a good idea?

First image is at 11am, second at 2pm

Is it in 2 different areas?

Thanks for replying. No, that's the same rash, photos taken 3 hours apart

Has she had antihistamines yet? Any idea of the cause?

Is it itchy? Or does it hurt?

You can get both oral and topical antihistamines, and take both together. So yes, I'd head to the pharmacy.

If it hurts, rather than is itchy, consider shingles.

Yes does it hurt. Agree with trying antihistamine if she can have them especially if itching.

I didn't realise until I took DD to the doctors for a painful rash at around 9 years old that they can get shingles at this age. They gave her antivirals.

At the moment it's itchy rather than painful, and she feels well. Thank you so much for replying, I think antihistamines may be in order.

That could be shingles. I would get it seen to as with shingles you need anti virals quickly.

Could be the start of shingles too. Has she had chickenpox?

Not sure kids get antivirals but you can ask

It looked like a cluster of mozzie bites , I've had it before when one must have got stuck in my pjs.

My ds had shingles age 3 after Chickenpox as a baby. Was misdiagnosed at first as eczema

That looks like shingles, I’d speak to a dr pronto.
