Hello,
I have an appointment with the GP but not until tomorrow.
Has anyone seen spots like this before? They are raised and red and different sizes all over my 9 month olds belly and back. They don't seem to be itchy
Picture attached
Thank you

The quickest way to get eyes on a rash would be through your local pharmacy. That would be my port of call this afternoon whilst waiting for the GP tomorrow

@Superscientist that's a good shout, thank you!

Just to test for meningitis:-

The glass test can be used to check whether a rash fades under pressure. Someone with a fever together with a rash that does not fade under pressure needs urgent medical attention.

Oh that's good and a relief! I'd still head to pharmacy to see if they can help!

Slapped cheek syndrome/fifth disease is going round at the moment - that can also produce a body rash in later stages.

Agree with previous poster regarding getting rash checked by pharmacist.
My own thought was measles??

Hope baby is well.
Did you find out what the rash was?
