Odd rash

[horselady]

Hi there

My 3 year old grandson has a very strange rash on his feet and legs. It's circular red spots with no itching. Been to Docs and 2 doctors looked at it and don't know what it is! Said to my daughter to take him back if it doesn't go within a few days. Can't find anything similar on any website and just wondered if anyone had any ideas? His tonsils are a bit red and the doctor said he has a very slightly raised temperature.

My son had this, if it only stays on limbs then it's 'Hand Foot and Mouth! (sometimes in mouth)

Sound horrible, but it isn't to do with the animal kind and isn't harmful.

Just sooth with calamine lotion (kids love being plastered with it!)

Thanks andrea but I looked at that and the rash is totally different. It's like german measles rash whereas the hand foot and mouth rash looks nastier.
