Emily has a mysterious rash - it looks like it's spreading

When Emily woke up and I took off her PJs this morning she had a rash all over her ... on her legs, belly, back, feet, arms.

It is like red splotches and in those splotches there are white bumps. It kind of looks like when you scratch an area too hard and white bumps show up.

We put her in footsie PJs for the first time since the spring last night. I wonder if she was too hot and that could have caused it .... or something else.

So far I'm not freaking -- I didn't put anything on it -- want to see if it goes away....but does anyone have an idea of what this could be?

We didn't give her any new foods or do anything different aside from putting on thick, warmer PJs as opposed to thin cotton ones like she's been wearing.

wasnt she sick last week? did she have fever last week? sometimes you get a rash AFTER the virus breaks.

Maybe that is what it is .... she has had a cold .... I took her to the doc and she just said it was a regular cold -- and she never really ran a fever ... but hopefuly that's just what it is.

Actually now as of 9:30 it is starting to go down some.
