So it’s a long one….
My 9 year old DD started with a rash on the 2nd April. At first it looked lacy/mottled & would come & go. No other symptoms she is completely well no high temps etc. A few days later her cheeks were glowing again on & off through out the day. A couple of kids in her class had slapped cheek so I put it down to that. However 3 & half weeks on & the rash is still there! The cheeks seems to have settled but the rash is still there on her Arms & thighs mainly. The rash is completely smooth, not raised & doesn’t itch. Not bothering her in the slightest but worrying me as to what it could be! It changes appearance daily sometimes it’s quite faint & mottled looking other times it’s really red & blotchy and hot to touch. We’ve seen the GP twice who admitted he doesn’t no what it is but thinks viral (although she hasn’t been ill) GP wants to wait & if still there in 2 weeks will refer to dermatologist. I should say the rash tends to be worse when she’s hot, showering etc. we’re going on holiday in 3 weeks to a hot country & it’s starting to stress me out! So anyone recognise this rash……
