No but please take baby to the GP asap to get this checked out. They have to give you a same day appointment for a newborn. Is it blanching under a glass? Call 111 straight away now for advice.

I would want that seen asap to rule out measles. How is your baby , temperature, feeding ok?

Definitely call 111 now.

He’s so tiny I would just take him to A&E - he’ll be triaged immediately at that age. Pin prick rash could be meningitis…

Hi did you find out what this was my little one has the same rash

It looks like a viral rash to me, so nothing to panic about, but for a baby so young I'd definitely get it checked out
