Did he eat anything new or use any new soaps?

I don't know, but that looks like what R just had.  Is it just on his face?  She just got it on her face, then her neck and a little on her arms.  No fever (at least that I noticed...) or any other symptoms.  The rash lasted about a week and is now gone.

Her spots were not raised or itchy at all.

Rosceola?(sp?)  - did he have a low grade fever?

goodheartedmommy

Yeah, I don't think it's an allergy or anything.

Sore throat? Could it be scarlet fever?

I thought fifth disease was more of a solid patch, not spotted? Slapped-cheek appearance.

I think its roseola.  DS had it a few weeks ago.  Just a fever for a few days followed by this rash.  By the time the rash came he felt fine.  Rash lasted about a day. 

But DS's rash was all over his trunk as well.  Is E's only on his face?

No scarlet fever's rash is MUCH finer & it would be on his chest a well.

His only other symptoms have been fever (from 101-103) and headache. The rash isn't on his body, just his cheeks.

He feels fine. I guess I won't worry about it!

It doesn't look like Fifth's - that's more of a big red spot.

 

Maybe coxsackie? (sp?)  Or roseola, since you mentioned the fever.

that doesn't look like 5ths to me.  Looks like a contact reaction or reaction to food.  When DS had 5th his cheeks were just bright red, no bumps or splotches.  He also had a lacey rash on his chest.
