tiffy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, my daughter noticed a pinky spotty rash on her thighs yesterday and she's just come charging downstairs after a bath to show she's now covered head to toes with the same. the spots are not very big but noticeable and we're wondering if there's anything like measles etc going around. Anyone else know people or have someone recently ill or off work/school with any such ailments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousemouse Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Do you think it could be chicken pox? Has she been off colour recently? Or could she have eaten something that has brought her out in a rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZZFAYE Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 could it be grass flea bites they start coming bk out around this time of year, buy some claratin its sold in most co ops if it is bites or an allergie that would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 she felt a bit off yesterday at work but thought it because she'd had a late night Friday. Says she's feeling now after her lie in this morning but has this rash, the spots aren't itchy at all but as it's all over her it's a bit worrying. Thanks for the replies/suggestions so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZZFAYE Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 could it be hives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousemouse Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 ........................I was going to suggest hives too! If it is hives it will go as fast as it has come.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 hmmm don't think so, I'm googling for images of your suggestions and hives are like welts, these are smallish pinky spots at the moment so unless they change at some stage I'm not sure. She feels fine in herself so far and they don't itch so wonder if it is a reaction to something - suppose only time will tell so we'll have to monitor it. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 after a bath to show she's now covered head to toes with the same. Heat rash is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I had chicken pox a few years back. Woke with tiny red spots in a band across my waist and on my belly. Dr took one look and diagnosed them straight away. Rest and Camomile cream for a week. Do check it isn't meningitis though - there are specific tell tale signs, such as an aversion to bright lights, stiff neck etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Did she put anything unusual - for her - in the bath water? What was the towel she used last washed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
