I *think* its just milkspots (thats what HV said) but my friends LO has *just* gone down with cp and he was here last sunday

G also very unsettled and puky
I hope shes ok banana

**Lilacgirl** · 25-10-2008, 12:03pm

Hope she's ok.
Whereabouts is the rash?

**suemarie** · 25-10-2008, 12:19pm

Lucy has a bizarre rash too, but it looks like hives to me altho not sure what has caused it as it happened 2 nights ago & only after she had eaten gummy lips n teeth from Tesco's (we have also had a new carpet delivered with underlay which had to be spray glued).

Hope you fnd out whats causing your LO's rash.

**banana** · 25-10-2008, 12:41pm

they arent blisters, they are bumps which are red. on her neck, chest, top back and back of neck. really hope its not cp...and that gracie's isnt either pp...feeding her now then off to hospital.

Big hugs to all the poorly LO's

I wonder if that odd strep throat / rash thing is on the rounds again. Fin had it a couple of winters ago. Came up with a nasty rash and various other symptoms. Seemed to be everywhere back then.

**lucypede** · 25-10-2008, 12:59pm

Banana hope its nothing serious - best to get it checked though. It could just be baby acne - both of mine suffered with this terribly in the first couple of weeks - I've hardly got any pictures of them at this age as they looked so hideous

**banana** · 25-10-2008, 01:03pm

Thanks L. Leaving now!!

It does sound a lot like milk spots... hope it's nothing more serious.

If it's milk spots then she'll be getting them on her face next and looking dreadful for a few weeks

Hope all is well with both Emily and Grace.

**MummyPig** · 25-10-2008, 01:43pm

This is odd, Brooke has a rash as well - it started yesterday on her torso and is now all over her arms and legs as well. DH has just taken her to the chemist for some advice. Hope the other poorly little ones are on the mend soon too x

Puffy · 25-10-2008, 01:56pm

We're off to the out of hours GP at 2.45 .........

**L66TTY** · 25-10-2008, 02:14pm

Good Luck both of you. Dexter was an extrememly rashy newborn and still is now it was just his way of fighting off viruses its very common for babies to have rashes, so I am sure it will be nothing fingers crossed.

I take it you have both done the glass test?

**MummyPig** · 25-10-2008, 02:20pm

I've done the glass test - all clear there. DH just got back from the chemist - he said it might be chicken pox. I had the chicken pox as a child so does that mean I'm okay to be around her, given being pregnant and all? I think I'll ring NHS direct.

Puffy · 25-10-2008, 05:13pm

gracies isnt the pox they dont think

the GP running the out of hours was my neighbour

so shes been thoroughly checked and shes pretty sure its just a minging baby rash

You'll be fine, if you had it as a child then you'll have immunity. My son had the pox when I was pg and I worried as I didn't have it as a child, but they tested me and I was immune anyway - apparently most people are.

Hope all the rash-y babies are better soon.
