Rash?
Baby has developed a rash on her bum and around her mouth mainly. She has a few random spots in other places but not any on her hands and feet. My nephew (who she hasn’t seen in a while) had Hand, Foot and Mouth last week but my mum has seen both children in the past week. Could this been HFMD even though it’s only on her face and bum? Or could it be the MMR jab (that she had 13 days ago) or a dribble rash? Has anyone else’s baby had a rash like this? It’s impossible to get a doctors appointment 🙄

I'd say it's HFMD. It can live on surfaces for a while, so if someone who had it touched something and then your baby touched that something, she could have it. HFMD is very contagious
If u can’t get a doctor’s appointment take the baby to the hospital. You’ll get results on what it is and the medicine to treat it
My daughter had something similar and they said it was either a viral infection or a response to the mmr shot (11 days later) . However she also spiked a 104.2 fever and fluctuated from 102.3-104.2 for 5 days then went hypothermic at 91.9 . Take her to a children’s hospital. Children’s hospital. I cannot express enough how important it is to go to a children’s hospital. A normal one will just brush you guys off ( happened to me 4 times) .
