Please Look!!!! DD's Rash

[Floweryfields]

If it were chicken pox, I would expect it to have spread overnight. The spots often start on the tummy and back. It's hard to tell fromt he pics, but I still don't think it looks like them - they are usually little fluid filled blisters.
I am still leaning towards bites.

looks allergic to me, like an allergy to the grass or something but odd its so confined,

Ok so, the doctor lifted up her shirt and said straight away "its shingles" but then i told him she had two spots on her shoulder aswell and he had a look and said "ok well its not shingles because it wouldnt spread like that"
So then his conclusion is "its a viral rash" (in others words he has NFI) and told me to watch the rash and to see if she gets a fever etc... soooo i pretty much just have to wait it out.

Did you put your fingers over the rash with some pressure and spread them outwards???

If the skin goes white (back to normal colour) than it is viral but if not then it is something more.

Hope she is okay.

no its still red when i do that (its lighter red but definatly doesnt go normal skin colour)

If its still red when pressure is applied then it is not a viral infection.

That is what they told me when I took DD to Westmead Childrens Hospital with a nasty rash all over her body.

I'd maybe see someone else for a second opinion.

i find my pharmacist is great on rash's, can you pop into the pharmacy and get their opinion?
Otherwise i'd go to a different dr too....
Is it bothering her?

[Muffy]

i've updated the first post, she wont lay on her back

[Junglemum]

I'd take her back to the drs if it was me.
