We just went to give LO a bath and noticed a rash all over his chest and back. There's a little around his temples too, but I just thought it was from sleeping on his face since I feel like I've seen it before there. But it's never been on his body.
Nothing on arms and legs. Any idea with it might be?

Did he just get over something? Lots of times they can get a post viral rash.

@PurplePumps: That's what my son looked like when he had roseola. His high fever broke and the next day his trunk was covered in a rash.

Roseola. You can trust me, I’m not a doctor. (But seriously though, we get this a lot in our house. If he is otherwise happy, eating, drinking, I wouldn’t worry).

@Littlebit7: He's eating and drinking, but definitely not happy. He's very fussy and just crying very easily over apparently nothing.

FWIW, 10 days after the MMR vax, it's very common to get a rash that looks like this.

With the fever I would guess it is roseola. 90% of children get it before they turn 2.
