Hi all
I got Joshua (18month) up this morning and he has a very angry red rash on his belly and on his "outtie" belly button. Its red and raised, i don't think its bothering him although it looks sore. any ideas?? xx

it could be something called pityriosis (cant spell it)
ollie had it, it didnt bother him but looked horrendous. Its a non generic viral infection that causes a rash that lasts up to 6 weeks.
maybe take him to the docs anyway to make sure...?
(and I'll get that letter sent today - sorry I've been a bit lax with it)
