What is this Rash? Pics included!

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
DD2 developed this Rash yesterday and it has spread all over her entire body. Two days prior to the rash she had a fever but that was all and it did not get that high . I do not think the rash itches at all as I have not seen her itch it.

Anyone have any idea what it might be? I have looked up possible viruses and diseases and nothing matches it.

If you press on her skin and the rash goes away, then it is a viral rash. It will go away in another day or two or maybe three. It is nothing to worry about.

Maybe roseola? Or maybe just a nameless virus rash? It's hard to tell really.

My dd's skin has ended up looking like that from heat - as in really hot days and being around our not air conditioned house most of the time and actually wearing clothing (no recent/related illnesses whatsoever). It will usually go away on its own in 2-3 days, no itchiness, etc. Always mainly her torso.

I am assuming it must be a viral rash. Though none of my kids have ever had one before but it seems like it isn't doing any harm so I guess I'll just wait it out.

Probably Roseola. Very common at that age.
