small red spots/rash on 11 mo

Hi, I wonder if anyone has any ideas as to what this rash on my 11 mo DD may be (I will call HV or Dr tomorrow but spotted it late in the day and wondering what it might be).

I noticed a very light rash on her tummy (very faint spots) on Monday evening and thought it may be heat rash or reaction to new washing powder so just monitored it. Yesterday there were a few on her back too and some round her mouth. This afternoon she seems to have developed a few red ones on her face (chin, mouth and a few on cheeks) and on her legs and arms. She is very happy, eating fine etc, would have no worries at all about her if not for the spots. They are quite small and she doesn't seem to have noticed them.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I wondered whether it might be an allergy, she has had red patches around the mouth after eating tomato before and she did have some in a sauce at lunch.

Thanks for any ideas.

Has she been uwell recently? My DS (13 months) gets spots like this after he has had viruses like D&V and flu? Dr said it was "post viral rash" - ??

thanks zebedee. No I don't think she's been ill at all recently, she's generally been very healthy. It feels a bit over anxious to go to the Dr but equally I don't want to miss something that is a problem...
