I've asked the girls in the July/August and September threads. It was suggested that I ask here too.
Cooper woke up this morning to these spots, he's had a few pooey nappies today but no fever that I could tell, he has been in good spirits since we got home from our holiday. He's had two new things food wise: Tomatoe pasta sauce and Cruskits (which are wheat based) I'm wondering if they could either be: Bites CP Allergic reaction to one of the above. Just really wanting some ideas of what it could be and whether or not I should take him to the GP. This is slightly raised: 
These are new, came up this afternoon 
On his legs 
Thoughts?? TIA ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Ok but shouldn't he have had a fever first?? I mean he might of while we were away and no one picked it up. They did say he was really unsettled at night. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

It doesn't look like an allergy (from the little experience I have had). But they look really nasty, poor little guy. Off to the docs first thing in the morning for you guys I suspect  ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

They don't look like chicken pox to me, they look too red and no dent in them. Go to the dr anyhow. Hopefully you'll get told 'it's just something viral', that's what we were told for Kryssi recently. Hers were white not red though.
ETA: Chicken pox are really, really itchy and often make ppl grumpy from flu type symptoms -------------  |

Well I thought they had stopped coming up today, until this evening and they have started spreading. He's had the runs all day every single nappy was pooey. No fever definitely not unsettled.
I didn't go to the doctor because I thought it was just bites... sigh. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)
