This is on my daughters back.

I thought so, too. My daughter got chicken pox twice. She was very young when she got it the first time. The second time was quite mild because of having had it once previously. OP probably should give Aveeno Bath, Benadryl, and take daughter to the doctor. Could be an allergy and that might be serious.

Acne.

Bedbug bites. And she probably brought a few back to your house in her clothing.

OP - if rash is spreading and/or other symptoms get care from an MD ASAP

she has scabies. need to go to dr and get a cream. it will get all over, highly contagious. Person to person contact spread.

chicken pox, shingles is a form of herpes, that looks like herpes. You should ask if she has had sex, it being on her face and shoulder like that is suspicious.

If she did get it from some guy, he's probably running around doing this to a bunch of girls.

Was she in a hot tub in the past few days? My daughter gets a rash exactly like that every time she goes in my in-laws hot tub (we don't let her anymore). It is called hot tub folliculitis, caused by pseudomonas bacteria

If it's still hot where you live might be caused by sweat/allergy to soap or whatever to wash clothing. Also good to check what the doc says.

Around here there was a weird rash from neck to waist on only one side of the body with a fever going on. No idea what it was.

Pretty much what I was expecting from the thread title. Then was going to make a dirty joke until OP mentioned giving her a bath, and that makes her a it too young for the joke to be funny.



If her daughter was 18 I would suggest it was sex in the woods w/ her boyfriend when she was "staying" at her friends. On her back is obvious, on her face from the doggie style.

BTW it does not look like any chigger bite I've had, or poison oak or ivy.

You guys are stupid, MRSA is not a skin disease,it is a resistance to antibiotics.I am a nurse.How dumb are you,people?

It is not scabies either.Scabies start between fingers first and is tiny. I am a nurse,I know what i am talking about.

microchips

we are <------- this dumb ------->

so Sister Nurse, have you read this:

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a strain of staph bacteria that's become resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat ordinary staph infections.

[link to www.mayoclinic.org]

Therefore, MRSA is a strain of staph bacteria.

"Staph infections may cause disease due to direct infection or due to the production of toxins by the bacteria. Boils, impetigo, food poisoning, cellulitis, and toxic shock syndrome are all examples of diseases that may be caused by Staphylococcus.

Community-associated MRSA infections usually affect the skin, causing pimples and boils in otherwise healthy people. Infected areas may be red, swollen, painful, and have pus or other drainage."

so it seems like MRSA infection could present as "a skin disease".

are you really a nurse, or are you just playing one on the internet?

how many pets at the friends house? they look like flea bites

Could be from a hot tub that was wasn't maintained properly. No chlorine.

oh snap

she got da ebola!

There are a variety of mites that are known to bite humans and cause irritation and itchy papules. Most actual bug bite complaints are due to rodent mites, primarily the Tropical rat mite.

could be the shingles.

Not bed bugs or other insect bite. Looks like it's an allergic reaction to something. Did she eat or wear anything unusual the day of or day before?

Try some anti histamine pills and coat the lesions in hydrocortisone cream.
Don't let her scratch, I see some streaking already from scratches.

Don't know the age she is, but it could also be a reaction to birth control pills. Better have a talk with her, maybe there's something mama don't know.

a agree with this. My qualifications are I am a mom of 3 who had chicken pox.

Also I had sympathetic chicken pox when the last child had his and last year I got small case of limited shingles. They all look like that.

Has she traveled to west Africa?

Unless it has spread since the pic was taken I would say not chicken pox. Also I think pox would cause a fever etc. Still sticking with an insect bite.

Herpez

I hate rude ass people who ask for advice and then disappear.

She could have at the very least came back and told us what the doctor said. No class, no decency.

Actually they dont have to show up on hands first. If you come into contact with your arm then it will show up on arm first, then spread to hands once u start to scratch. The trail of scabies is the main sign. Scabies can live up to 3 days with out body contact, and every 2 1/5 days they lay eggs. So it could be days till they show up on hands.
Just because you are a nurse really doesn't mean much these days as far as smartness. The I know what I am talking about really doesn't mean much either. There are alot of misdiagnoses from I know what I am talking about Dr's and nurses. Scabies is really common. More then people think.

Just checking back for doctor's diagnosis.

The bits look too small to be bed bugs. Even flea bites are bigger. But, I would say they are likely bug bites of some sort. Just put some cortisone anti-itch cream on it and wash everything she brought home really well.

They really look like ant bites or fresh chigger bites. Were they outside playing and rolling in leaves, etc?
