Rash On Baby?

4 replies

Ritchie311 · 23/09/2021 06:13

Has had a runny nose and bad cough since Monday. Has been PCR tested - came back negative.

Now has developed a rash which came on last night. Small red spots all randomly scattered across body then a few bigger ones with an almost blistered appearance on his elbows and one on the inside of his upper arm.
Has a rash at his mouth too but that’s been there since before and I’m sure it’s a teething rash.

Will consult with our GP this morning but any ideas about the rash? Does it look like chickenpox? Bites?

Hi @Ritchie311 did you get any answers from your GP? I was following your thread as my little one gets the same thing - particularly on backs of his thighs and I can't figure out a pattern/link as to what they could be.

@Crimblecrumble1990 GP looked at photos and said it’s definitely Hand, Foot & Mouth! Seems to be a big outbreak locally and it’s going round all the baby groups. Typical, the first time we manage to take him to Toddlers 🙄😓
