Just a wonder.. I have a small rash on my arm appeared, it consists of a few tiny blisters with red patches. Its only on a small specific bit on my arm. Stung when I went in bath and that's when they flared up to rly bright red, they are slightly itchy n sore but nothing major. Iv also not been feeling right this week, headache nausea and not sleeping.

I'd get it checked out. My midwife friend told me that rashes in pregnancy should be looked at as they can indicate an infection.

Would it be ok to leave till tomorrow? They're quite sore and slightly itchy. I have had a very bad headache with cold like symptoms. Have been feeling like I've had a temperature for about a week

I'm no expert so I don't know tbh. I'd go with how you feel. You can always phone the modwife and ask. I'd probably just go to the GP or midwife first thing tomorrow morning but I think you need to do what gives you peace of mind.

Hope your feeling better soon!

I'm considering maybe shingles?

Heat rash? eczema?

Get it checked out with a gp/mw.

Will get it checked by gp if still there in morning. No its not a heat rash/eczema, its like 10 red patches with a tiny blister inside them. Will see what they say tomorrow if its not gone.
