What is this rash on D?

[thedahliharpa]

D has a cold/virus. Temp between 100-102 for 24 hours. All of a sudden her wrist got this rash all around. No new foods or medication? It's really red.

Are they blisters or more like hives? Does it itch? Is it only on her wrist? I wonder if maybe some kind of contact rash but I really don't know. Poor D. I hope she feels better soon.

Thanks! It was itchy. I put cortisone on it while DH ran out to get Benadryl and now it's gone. Of course, I leave for the airport early tomorrow

You guys have terrible luck with sickness and work trips!!!

I'd say it is just a response to the virus since it was isolated and responded to cortisone.

Looks like hives to me too. Sickness does weird things to the immune system. Glad Benadryl took care of it and hope all is well at home while you're away.

If it responded quickly to the cortisone I bet it's hives, which could be from literally anything. I hope it was an isolated incident!

Looks like a contact rash. I get that a lot but I can't pinpoint what causes it because I'm allergic to everything.
