What is this rash?

My daughter started getting this rash last Wednesday so it’s been 8 days now... every day about 3pm onwards a hive looking rash, she is not overly irritated by it, sometimes itchy. This rash goes in the morning when she wakes and then starts again, repeatedly! We are at our wits end with it, we have done a process of elimination by checking the washing powder, food, new bodywashes, etc and all ok. The only thing we can link it to is dust, so carpet came up in her room, entire rooms dettoled! Anyone ever seen anything like this before?? Help please!!

    Does the rash move around her body or does it appear in the same place? If it moves, that usually means it is viral, and she might just be fending off a virus. What did your GP say? And does antihistamine help at all? you're doing all the right things, so try not to fret - hopefully it'll be one of those things that just stops x

    It does move around her body, sometimes she has it on her shoulder or just down one side, or just her face and shoulders, doctor did say could be viral or reaction to something, but we have completely gutted her room as her carpet was 10 years old, so new carpets going down, and new mattress, allergy duvets and sheets the whole shebang, i hope it is viral but we are erring on the side of dust mites so eradicated those, fingers crossed it starts disappearing as almost 2 weeks tomo! Thanks for your reply x
