🌡️ Increase in Childhood Rashes – What You Need to Know

We are currently seeing an increase in cases of common viral rashes, including:

Chickenpox
Rubella
Measles

These images show typical examples to help you recognise symptoms.

⸻

💊 You do NOT always need to see a GP

Most rashes are mild and self-limiting.

👉 Your local pharmacist can help first

They can:

• Assess the rash
Recommend treatments (e.g. creams, antihistamines)
• Advise if you need to seek further medical care

This helps keep GP appointments available for those who need them most.

⸻

⚠️ When to seek urgent medical advice

Please seek urgent care if:

• Your child is very unwell, drowsy, or difficult to wake
• There is a persistent high fever
• The rash does not fade when pressed with a glass (sign of meningitis)
• They are having breathing difficulties
