| anyone know what they could be? oliver has them all over his belly! he has so other symptoms, but he has had a cough and cold the past week(possibly due to teething) he seems fine in himself but they dont dissapear under a glass tumbler ![scratch](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_scratch.png) i showed my mum(she is a nurse, although a mental health nurse so she doesnt know a great deal) anyway she said not to worry too much as he has no other symptoms and take him to the gp in the morning if they havent gone. but i am a little concerned they arent dissapearing under a glass ![scratch](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_scratch.png) any ideas??? xx |

| Other than his cold does he seem ok in himself?
Because you mentioned the cold I'm more inclined to think its viral as it does sound like what Oliver had once. But the fact the rash doesn't fade is odd.
I'd ring NHS direct and see what they suggest. |

I'd ring NHS direct and see what they suggest. yeah he seems absolutley fine besides the cold, its just the rash not going under the glass whats worrying me, he has always had a few dotted about like them as leo has too but he has about 100+, only teeny. he has had them for a couple of hoursw now and hasnt got anyworse and he settled for bed fine, i have been checking him and disturbing him too just to make sure...i will give nhs direct a call unique- i dont know about roseola, but isnt that a hight temp too?? his temp isnt up today so dont think it could be that but i will check thanx x |

| i think Roseola comes after them being ill, i had it a couple of years ago (apparently its unusual in adults as most people have it before they turn 2) and im sur ethe doc said you feel under the weather before the rash appears. Keep us updated! |

| Isla gets these, and I panicked big time the first time she got them.....the hospital put a canula in for bloods etc to chek for meningitis and everything............. BUT they were absolutely fine.....In the end I phoned the meningitis helpline to find out about 'the' rash in more detail. They said that a meningitis rash is normally the last thing to happen, and that if it was a meningitis rash, you would noticably have a very very poorly baby......listless, raging temp, screaming, vomiting etc. So therefore rest assured that it is not 'the rash'.....it may be a viral something like Isla's, but check with your GP if unsure. NHS direct will say to head off to a&e because it doesnt blanche under a glass. Hope this reassures xxx |

| thanx ladies, well i went to gp this morning, she said she has never seen anything like it before ![scratch](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_scratch.png) but she doesnt think its anything sinister as he is otherwise well. although he does have a chest infection so is now on antibiotics, she said to monitor the rash and take him back if it gets worse im guessing just viral xx |
