    I did a google search and nope not either of those.. well i hope its not impetigo as that looks nasty!

    I would take a photo but being on her bum i don't feel comfortable showing that and the spots on her face aren't photographing well enough.

    Yeah that's fair enough.

    With the impetigo the photos when you google are usually when it looks bad and bad cases but they don't start out that bad iykwim. But yes it is nasty!

    Hand foot and mouth can occur on the bottom as well that's what made me think of that.

    Does she have any other symptoms? Fever etc.?

    The rash sort of looks simlar to hand foot and mouth now that ive had a proper look at photos. She doesn't seem to have any other symptoms, but she does have a few spots on her face so i might check her mouth when she wakes from a nap.

    She will be one very unlucky little girl if she has it

    She can have CP more than once...but if it is solely inside her nappy area, I would just keep an eye on it and see if it starts to spread.

    CP starts on torso and then spreads. Sounds unlikely to be that.

    My two older boys have had HFM ... looks like tiny white blisters, but not pussy looking like CP. My boys had a few spots on their backsides, but mainly on the tips of their fingers and toes and some on the feet and hands. In their case, it didn't cause any fever or them feeling ill. They just had spots. Maybe a trip to the dr is in order if you're not sure - particularly if it's contagious, which HFM is.
