DCM texted, dr says it is not Molluscum but that it is possibly dry skin or heat rash. DCM is going to put DCB in long sleeve onesies.
It just does not make sense that one would cover heat rash or dry skin up. It is sometimes 90 degrees and up when we go outside.

That was awkward. DCD picked up and he is a nurse. Hopefully, they get him checked out.

It looks like Hand, Foot and Mouth or maybe Molluscum...both of which are viral and both are highly contagious.

DCM pointed it out on Monday. She said she had not been able to figure out what it was from since nothing had changed and no new foods were introduced. Then he went home early with a low-grade fever 99.5 and not feeling well. The next day he was eating better and played more.
Yesterday, he napped more but he was the only one, so it was quite in the house.
Today, he has no fever, the rash is still there but he is back to not wanting to eat. He wants to be held again to day. Normal naps.
Dcm keeps blaming, you guessed it ....... TEETHING
