Baby girl (nearly 3, so not actually a baby) developed a whole-body rash this morning. We’ve had a stomach bug going around, but she hasn’t had it. We just returned from Costa Rica. It looks like roseola, but she never had a fever of any kind. The rash does not appear to bother her in the least. Has anyone’s LO had a roseola rash with no fever? Any other ideas?

My daughter had a very similar rash that was from Amoxicillin. Has she been on any antibiotics recently?

Looks like something viral or bacterial that the body is responding to and trying to fight. I have seen a few children with this same type of rash all over and they had covid. I would see your pediatrician, but hope she is feeling well other than the rash.

@CatchAFallingStar: No, no antibiotics.
@Bbscott: Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it's just the virus everyone else had as a stomach bug presenting strangely? She had covid in January and tested negative Tuesday so we could fly home, but it's possible. I've sent a note to her ped.
I think maybe it's fading a bit? I'll see after she wakes up.
