Default red spots

Katelyn has red spots all over her body. They're not raised or anything and I don't think she's had a fever but our thermometor isn't working so I'm not 100% sure. What do you think it could be? She does have an appointment for tomorrow with her pedi..I just am not a fan of waiting.

Are they rough? My son has excema and he gets spots on his legs and arms that are red and rough. I'd call your pediatrician and ask. Just to be safe. Not chicken pox I hope... Is she scratching them? Maybe she got into something that she is allergic to? Hmmm....

I wish she'd eat something new! lol All she eats is cheese sandwhiches, fries and chicken nuggets. She only drinks water lately...so nothing new there. As far as soap and shampoo it's the same as always. She's had excema problems before but this seems different. It's not rough or raised or anything. She's just got red spots like a leopard or something. It's weird because she's not even red complected, ya know? She hasn't been scratching and says it doesn't itch but who really knows? I mean...she's so weird, She hits her head and doesn't even cry. I really have no idea but its not normal for her so we're def seeing her doctor tomorrow.

Could it maybe be a heat rash?? I know you're nearing winter now, but thats all I could think of.

It could be any number of things. I'd err on the side of caution and take her to the DRs today.

She's getting blood work done....not sure when we'll know the results. The doctor said the spots are broken blood vessels.

Her bloodwork came back normal! So the doctor said to just watch her and make sure she doesn't get any other symptoms.

That's strange...I'm glad it's nothing to serious.
