Any idea what this is? Both my daughters have it and it came about at the exact same time
These dots are everywhere apart from the feet, bum cheeks and privates. Its on both my daughters face, stomach,chest, back, legs, arms.
My daughters are 7 and 4
The rash or whatever it is came about at the exact same time on both the girls so I feel that alone rules out a lot of diagnosis...
They've had this for about a week, my 7 year old has it worse than my 4 year old.
I took them to the doctors, doctor thinks its school sores/impetigo but... from what ive seen of impetigo it just doesn't add up..the sores haven't blistered, they haven't weeped...it looks like ringworm or gutatte psoriasis to me....but for guttatte....just seems highly coincidental for them to get that at exactly the same time? I also thought maybe chicken pox, but there's been no blistering....
Also, noticed that my BIL (their uncle) who is 15 had a couple of them on his forehead and one on his arm but...only 3 in total and nowhere near this much....i also look to have something similar on my arm but only one dot and it may coincidentally just be something else....
Just worried about my girls as the ones on their chest are so red, angry and sore looking, they haven't been able to go to school for the past week...
Should also note, both girls aren't really sick, they had a bit of a cold just before the rash came but it wasn't a bad one. The girls are fine now, no cold but just a really bad rash.... they're fine in of themselves, jist playing with toys etc. and running around still.
Also, I should add, we did get a new kitten in the house about 2 weeks ago....which to me seems like a clue....maybe tinea from the cat or something? But I've never seen tinea this wide spread like this....just not sure what to think....
What do you guys think?
Thank you
