I have an appointment with LOs dr scheduled for 1:30 this afternoon. Any idea what this could be? It's like cluster on her left index finger and middle finger and she has a couple dots on her thumb and forearm near her elbow... It showed up over night. Think it's ok to bring her to daycare until appointment or should I keep her home? No fever and she let me look at but she's keeping her hand in a fist for the most part

My first thought reading was HFM, but that doesn't look like HFM to me. I'd stay home to be safe, I think.

@T.H.O.U.: @MamaG: We did HFM last summer and i dont remember it looking like that.... plus her diaper area, and mouth are clear.... it only on her left hand.
@hellobeeboston: Maybe poison ivy... we were out back a lot last night but i don't remember seeing any when we were doing yard work in the last few weeks .

@Chillybear: my husband has poison ivy right now and it looks just like that. And without a fever hopefully not HFM. Let us know what the doc says!!

Completely inconclusive.... Most likely some kind of reaction from an environmental factor but dr didn't think poison ivy... Maybe bite? Scarier option is if it spreads and stays on her left arm it might be shingles?!?! But most likely not that.... No idea

Poor thing!
LO has a couple bumps on her wrist that look a little like that, not as blistery though. I am 99% sure they are bug bites.

@Chillybear: The clusters make me think that it's shingles, but that's so odd on a child. My second thought was poison ivy.
Regardless of what it is, I hope it gets better soon!
