hi all,

my granddaughter has this rash-sort of thing over her body, legs, arms etc

spaced around and not all clumped together like a rash, just like loads of small spots that are really itchy and scanned over.

health-wise, she is fine. a runny nose at the moment but we never get to see any of the spots before she has scratched the life out of them.

Docs appointment is not for ages yet, any ideas please on what this is or how we can stop the itchiness in the mean time?

many thanks

and Merry Christmas 😃image
