Please Look!!!! DD's Rash

[Muffy]

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.

[Muffy]

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.

Thanks ali!
Will be calling another doctor tomorrow

Yeh, RR can you take her to see someone else (or the hospital if desperate) ??? ... You'd think he would have prescribed even some ointment or something for relief ... No suggestions from a Doc for relief for such a little person just breaks my heart

... only reason i suggest that as i have had not one but two GP's misdiagnose DD with something only this year

Give a little gentle cuddle & kiss for Bella from me matie xOx

Thanks L, the doctor told me not to put anything on it! im a bit annoyed.. i would love to take her up to the hospital but i dont want them to send me home again

RR are you on MSN atm? I have a photo of my nephews spots which look exactly like your DD's spots if you'd like to see it.
