  • My daughter has recently had impetigo and like other people have said, it looks like that. Its easily treated if you see a doctor, but be careful for now as its very contageous xxx

  • Definitely looks like impetigo, it’s surprising how quick it can spread. Your gp should give you antibiotic cream (fucibet or fucidin) Hope it’s better soon xx

  • This definitely looks like impetigo. Very common and very contagious. Our litle girl had it on her face but we caught it early and it cleared up within a few days. They gave us a liquid antibiotic which did the job.

  • I have no advice apart from try the doctor again because you never know if they’ll have cancellations and ask the receptionist if they can call you if anything opens up 🙂
    I hope you find some answers for your little one soon!

  • My little boy has these all over his body. After many trips to the doctor and eventually a consultant at the hospital he has been diagnosed with discoid eczema. It can be aggressive but treatable. X

  • For now put a huge plaster or bandage or something over it so her clothing isn’t scraping across it irritating it even more, then just take her drs. I know it’s dead hard nowadays to get appointments. But even if you get one for Friday or see if they have any emergency appointments as long as she gets seen this week it can be treated asap x

  • If it starts a small pimple then spreads into a circular rash, with a bumpy / raised / inflamed edge, that’s ringworm. (It’s just a fungal infection of a bite/spot). Can be cleared with an anti fungal cream. Do not use steroid based as it spreads it more. My son suffered this a lot, I read up on it and I change his sheets every few days etc to keep on top of any lurking bacteria.

  • The doctors have a duty of care to get children seen within 48 hours. Ring them back. It looks really sore x hope it’s sorted soon

  • Could be a Staphylococcus infection. If it is it is very painful. Maybe try a pharmacist if you can’t get to gp xx
