    there is a chance it could be anything, if they look more like blisters tommorow it could be hand foot & mouth, i thought ds1 was covered in bites but as there became more and more someone thought chicken pox, the next day they were blistered, according to the doc its easily picked up by kids.
    hope she gets better soon, if there still there tommorow id take her to the doc just for peace of mind.

    Foot and mouth is going around my town at the moment too, it could be that, or it could just be a reaction to new grass, juice anything. My mum use to hold a glass over our rashes, apparently if it goes away or goes white its not such a concern ,if it stayed there, off to the Dr's we went. maybe google to see if thats actually right or an old wives tail. GL hope she gets better soon.

    Thanks girls, I know it's definitely not H,F & M. The poor little poppet had that a few months ago. This is just on her cheeks and arms. I just went and checked her and the rash seems to have settled down. Will go in and check her again soon

    If she's not used to fruit drink it could be the Salicylates, they are much higher in fruit drinks. You could give her a bath in Epsom salts. The sulphur will help draw any toxins out.

    glad to hear it is settling down, poor little thing, cant be comfy having a rash.

    *on a random side note - Yeddi, a friends grandmother told me to take a teaspoon of epsome salts in a cup of warm water to bring on labour. If it has the power to draw out nasties like that, think that is one piece of advice I'm happy to have ignored lol.

    DS1 used to get rashes from grass, until he was about 3 or 4
