monday morning slight rash appeared on my face, can't really see much at all and just felt like a slightly 'sticky' itchy patch on my chin. Feels semi scaly aswell.

Wednesday morning both my cheeks were burning red and i thought i was just hot or something, but this afternnoon said rash has appeared on both cheeks.

Have also been feeling under the weather since sunday, spent all of monday in bed, but this could be totally unrelated.

Basically any advice, do i need a gp

isnt there a virus that causes 'slapped cheek disease'? think its also called fifths disease oe some such thing, looked it up when my DD had very red cheeks but think her's was teething. I am in no way medical but it will give you something to look up! Ring NHS direct?
