My little 19 month old has come up with these on her legs these past few hours. She's not been sleeping very well these past 2 nights and has been feeling really hot with temp. I've been given her calpol too. Just not sure what they are? Thanks Smile

Send these to a GP just to check.

Do they disappear when a glass is placed on them?

Hard to tell but could be. Does she go to creche? If so, could be Hand Foot and Mouth either. My kids started that with high temps then rash around bums/upper thigh.

They look like hives. But definitely get a Dr to check her over. Hope she feels better soon.

HFM or bites? They don't look like CP to me.

It doesn't look like chicken pox to me, they often have fluid at the centre of the spots. If she has a temp as well I would ring 111 to ask what to do.

Got any animals?

Doesn’t look like chicken pox, more like an allergy type rash. Try some piriton
It is v warm have you actually had a high temp? I’d just take them to be checked for your peace of mind.

Doesn't look like chicken pox to me. What about Hand Foot and mouth. That's doing the rounds and makes kids cranky. Get it checked.

Hi all thanks for the replies.
This is what it looks like now.
Will ring GP and see what they say picture deleted by MNHQ at OP's request

Hey op, I have reported that last pic as it's a bit too personal for posting on the internet. Hope the little one feels better soon.

Donut93 · 30/06/2021 14:46

Oh good I thought I cropped it out!! How do I delete it?!

CurlsLDN · 30/06/2021 14:48

I don't think you can, but you can report the post (click the 3 dots) and ask MN to delete it

Donut93 · 30/06/2021 14:57

this is what they look like now with a few smaller ones dotted around legs

It's not looking like CP.

Has little one been in a paddling pool/hot tub, anything like that? Bacteria can get into the skin sometimes from water that isn't too clean and can result in an itchy rash that can resemble chicken pox a little. A fever too might accompany it while the body is flushing out the bacteria.

Liverpoolgirl52 · 30/06/2021 16:03

I’d suggest taking her to a pharmacy for them to have a look

Do they disappear under a glass or not...
