I hope J is ok! Our ped said HFM is going around like crazy, he's seen a bunch of cases lately and M prob picked it up from daycare. If he doesn't have a fever and is eating fine though, I would think it wouldn't be that. M's first sign was really high fever and not really eating anything/drinking. Maybe he had a small allergic reaction to something? Or maybe was he outside in grass? </p> <p>@MsLipGloss: thanks doll. She slept through last night so I was able to get some much needed rest!! Hoping that means the worst is over for her... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1679217 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:44:40 +0000 hellobeeboston 1679217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: oh poor thing! Question - was the rash raised a bit?? Just noticed something similar on J's legs and very faint on tummy ---- no fever, eating fine, don't see any sores????! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1679098 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:33:57 +0000 MsLipGloss 1679098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: hope you both feel better too :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1678906 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:12:28 +0000 MamaG 1678906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you got a diagnosis. HFM was my guess as well. LO never had any blisters in her mouth. They were more on her legs and trunk. Luckily for us her discomfort was minimal. The unfortunate part was my DH did get it as well and he was MISERABLE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1678820 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:41:51 +0000 NovBaby1112 1678820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just came home from the peds and it looks like she has HFM...he saw some sores inside her mouth but mainly on her feet/legs. And to top it off I am sick now too, booo. Hopefully well be on the mend soon, thanks everyone for the input! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677402 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:11:11 +0000 aegie 1677402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>high fevers from a virus can cause rashes (virus rash). If she's not itching it, then that's probably what it is. Once the fever breaks consistently without it spiking up again once the medication wears off, your LO is no longer contagious. </p> <p>HFM is caused by coxsackie and so she could have coxsackie but again, these are all viruses. Best to keep her away from other children and wait for the fevers to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677065 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:48:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 1677065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: just for perspective, when my LO had HFM, she never got any sores (just one on the side of her tongue . . . none anywhere else). it looked much more rash-like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677063 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:47:05 +0000 Mamaof2 1677063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the rash came after the fever then I vote roseola!</p> <p>My DD had HFM and it was sores, not a rash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677057 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:42:00 +0000 mediagirl 1677057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks like the rash we had with roseola but I would take her to the ped to see. Hope you find out what it is and that she is feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677045 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:37:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1677045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: hmm. With roseola, the rash is flat but it appears on the torso usually. I thought hfm had raised bumps. But who knows. I'm not a doctor, just a Googler. Anyway I hope the ped can help your LO out and she feels better soon !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677023 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:10:40 +0000 NovBaby1112 1677023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: its pretty flat...its not on her torso, only legs so far..</p> <p>@Mrs.Panda: yep, pretty much soon after the fever stopped.</p> <p>@sslm: yea, last night she ws up from 8pm to 1am :( could not settle or go to sleep at all.</p> <p>@hellobeeboston: going to take her to the ped today to find out, I have no clue! I am torn between hfm and roseola </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1677016 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:02:08 +0000 hellobeeboston 1677016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: no idea... Could it be from the fever?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676952 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 04:27:38 +0000 sslm 1676952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: my LO has a very similar rash and we (and daycare) think it's HFM. It totally sucks :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676795 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:23:23 +0000 cyndistar3 1676795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote roseola as well, my lo had it not too long ago with the symptoms you describe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676792 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:18:30 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1676792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with roseola. The rash popped up when the fever stopped? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676627 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:18:43 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1676627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like roseola to me too. Its usually 3 days of high fever and once the fever breaks, the rash appears. it looks flat, not raised? Does she have the rash on her torso? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676618 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:14:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 1676618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: my LO didn't have any sores on her hands, and only had one in her mouth. we were very lucky in that regard. she did have a lot of bumps on her feet and legs, which I initially thought was a reaction to her playing in the grass. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676551 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:47:46 +0000 NovBaby1112 1676551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: hmmm I wonder if it could be HFM. I do not see any sores or rashes on her hands or mouth- but that would explain her refusing to eat or drink pretty much everything the last 2 days, along with the super high fever. going to take her to the ped tomorrow...</p> <p>@WALLAROO: @hilsy85: @rahlyrah: off to google roseola....</p> <p>@hilsy85: it seems like her fever has gone down. on Sunday it was pretty high, all through the day and night even on meds. Last night it seemed to have spiked early in the evening and was completely gone today. I kept her home from daycare Monday but sent her today because she seemed fine. Ugh now I feel bad! I sort of assumed it was due to teething bc she has been drooling like crazy and not really eating/drinking much</p> <p>@rahlyrah: so far, it's only on her legs/feet. I guess we will see what it looks like tomorrow.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676399 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:49:35 +0000 Ra 1676399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like roseola, but the rash is typically on the baby's trunk. It is it only on her legs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676355 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:29:06 +0000 hilsy85 1676355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like roseola to me! Does she still have a fever? I think for roseola, the rash only appears after the fever is gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676329 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:10:27 +0000 WALLAROO 1676329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Roseola? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676295 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:45:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 1676295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be HFM, especially with her high temp. I hope she feels better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash#post-1676294 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:43:57 +0000 NovBaby1112 1676294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two nights ago LO developed a high fever (103)...we called her ped and we were told to monitor/give meds. It subsided last night. I picked her up from daycare today and noticed this rash all over her legs and feet. Other symptoms include runny nose and poor appetite. Going to call her pedi again in the AM but wanted to see if anyone knew if this could be something? </p> [attach=2989/14/n6m75b.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2989/14/n6m75d.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2989/14/n6m75f.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2989/14/n6m75i.450x600.image.jpg]
