Blister type rash

[numnum]

hi

i've noticed on my daughter a blister type of rash. its not actual blisters but like a gathering of mini looking blisters and the skin underneath is red

does anyone know what it could be?

she has it on her thights and arms just in small clumps but disapears after a while then comes back

we're thinking it looks like nettle stings but shes not been near nettles

My 19month old had that last month. It has a medical term that sounds like nettle something... Anyway, Doc said it was a reaction to a virus. Apparantley babies show up virus' as rashes where as adults can show them more as coughs. He may be prescribed medicine so i'd still take him to Docs. Good luck x

Could it be an allergy? Contact dermatitis? My daughter had excema as a baby and was allergic to most washing products except Persil non-bio. Hope you get to the bottom of it!

Urticaria?

Chickenpox? ? ?

I have no idea how old your daughter is but it also sounds a bit like shingles!

Any lesions in the mouth?
Almost certainly is viral ( not shingles) and your doctor is correct.

Sounds like Chickenpox, there's a lot of it around at the moment.

Whoops, sorry, just saw the bit about it disappearing. So ignore the Chicken Pox suggestion. Just get to the docs. Mind you, if it's anything like our local surgery she'll be recovered, grown up and working before she gets an appointment :-)

I have this from time to time and sometimes it gets infected. The blisters are really tiny and the skin underneath is red. I get it mainly in the summer when I have been handling plants in the garden or even if the sun gets on my face - a sort of wet eczma/contact dermatitis. I have a habit of rubbing just under my chin whilst I am thinking hard about things and this is the main place I get it.

Prickly heat?

its still coming and gowing

scarlet fever was going round but spoke to my friend and its definatly not what my daughter has

she's 2 and never been bothered with anything in the past and we've not made any changes recently to daily life e.g food, washing powder

i'll call the doctors on monday. i was their the other day but there was nothing to see.

i'm potty training her at the moment. she's doing pee's fine but either in pain or seems to be hoilding in poos and doesn't like to be touched down below sometimes. i told the doctor this and that her pee sometimes smells so i have to hand in a sample on monday.

i looked up pictures of Urticaria and prikly heat and can rule that out

its like a red patch with white blisters. hers is a smooth like blister, white in colour and theres several

i've got some photos when we go to the doctors we can show him

[Jemisa]

Well let us know when you do num, Hope it clears up soon. Bless.
