    red dots on torso - what is it?

    My DD has quite a few red dots on her torso area, nowhere else, not on her back, legs, arms or face. They are not filled with pus or anything, just look like little red dots. She is playing fine. Any idea what it could be? Worried...

    I'd say it could be heat related, it was hot yesterday in Brisbane (thats where you are right?)

    Did she have a fever at all a few days ago? If so it would be roseola (sp?). With that the rash disappears after about 12 hours and all is good. OR it could be heat rash too.

    Are you able to take a photo of it?
    Depending on size or whatever, as others have said, could just be heat rash or elergic reation to something. Is it just red dots or rash like?

    Emily has the same rash, except hers is covering her whole body. She's been unwell as well with it though.
    We had her in Emergency last night, and so far Meningoccal, measles, rotavirus & chicken pox have been ruled out. Unlikely to be heat rash, as it's covering so much of her body, so they're thinking a viral infection, or gastro.
    Could be the same in your case?
