Dont worry about jumping to conclusions hun. Its always good to check anyway with a GP Just in case. DD has had viral infection 4 times now. They look very nasty. I had to pick her up from CC once as they thought it was the start of chicken pox, took her to the doctors in a panic and was told it was just viral rash.
We've just had Sam down with something similar last week.
Nappy change at lunch time and he was all clear - 4 hours later at the next nappy change he was covered in a rash of raised red spots. Add in nasty fevers, runny nose and being completely off his food... We took him to the GP, she was pretty confident it was just a viral rash, checked his ears and throat and found a very red and inflamed set of tonsils... Came back the next day and he was already picking up and seemed better.
I was completely freaked out as I have a lowered immune system and was going away (without Sam) for the weekend and was petrified we'd all be put into isolation with something horrible - but he's fine now. I never even knew that viral rashes existed until a couple of weeks ago when Sam was again sick (but with more of a snotty, tummy bug thing), but this one looked scarily like measles which was why I was so worried. Thank you for nothing, google images!
