Today when bathing my baby I noticed a few pink spots on the back of his neck. by tonight he now has big pink patches of rash on his back of neck, underarms, belly. I did call the after hours doctor and spoke with a nurse- she was a little vague but generally said it wasn't anything to get too concerned with. I think I will bring him to the doctor tomorrow if it is still there. He also had a fever for a few days prior. ugh. poor little guy- we moved about 2 weeks ago- we were living prior to that in a nice clean house and he never had any rashes or viruses. then we thought we were moving to a nice other clean house but it ended up being really dirty and gross- and we all got sick. And the baby got a fever- poor guy:
( for a couple of days-
And we got out of that place after 2 days and are in an okay temp place and will be soon in a new clean nice place. But we have been through a lot in the last 2 wks- and ds (9and a 1/2 months) has been exposed to lots of germs and probably viruses and other yucky things.
So I tried on my own online to figure out what kind fo rash this is as the nurse said she couldn't tell w/out looking at it. And nothing exactly matched. IÂ am a first time mom so I am just freaked out! I hope it just goes away on its own- I am so bummed about it. I am not super scared since the nrse seemed to think it wasn't that dangerous- and that basically it would run its course. From the descriptions I read online none of it matched exactly- it osunded somewhat similar to roseola but the photos were different- roseola looks lighter than this rash is- this is a brighter pink. It spread so quickly:( Ds is sleeping now so that is good- so I won't check on it again till he wakes up- but he has been very uncomfortable for the last couple of days and the rash just came today.
What do I do?
