Could it be german measles? 12mo had vaccine last week

Thanks for that info Hollye - DS definitely doesn't look like the child in the pic (poor little bub!). Ta for all that information.

Trillian - The possible side effects were mentioned by the nurse who gave the shots, and I do have the info on the immunisation info sheet. I just suppose I expected any lumps n bumps to occur on his chest, back, neck etc first - but there's no spots there at all. The bad nappy rash and spots on his knees have kind of thrown me a bit ...

Rayray - Thanks. I too think it's a bit too coincidental. I'll definitely take him to the GP if I feel DS is getting worse. I'm keeping a very close eye on him at the moment ...

Thanks again.

Just returned from dr. DS has got hand, foot and mouth disease. So glad I had it checked out. DS must have picked it up from daycare (he started part-time last week). Apparently no other daycare kids have presented with it, but DS has only mixes with a few other kids, and they definitely don't have it as I just checked.

Sigh ... at least it didn't happen next week as that's when I return to work after 14 months maternity leave! Hmm, guess this is the joys of daycare and/or school, huh?

H,F&M is very common. Don't stress

Thanks Hollye and Missymoo ... nah, not stressing ... not really my style .

There's no treatment ... we've just got to wait till the spots go away. At least they aren't itchy spots and DS is his normal little self otherwise. Hopefully he stays that way!
