Child Rash

My 3 year old son has raised crusty spots around his mouth and on the inner lip, and across the creasing of his neck.  His temperature is normal 37.8 but he has lost his appetite?

Impetigo?  Thrush?   I'd run it by the pediatrician and see what you can get to put on the crusty spots.

Oh bother...thank's for that!  I've just looked i up and seen some piccies of the condition.  Bless him...he woke up with it round his mouth yesterday morning.  Seems to be healing as i've been applying Sudocrem to the affected areas.  Will take him to the doctors to be sure as not sure also if he reacted to a bit of kipper the day before!

Probably not the kipper.  Some people put fish oil on the skin to heal it.  :)  Impetigo looks awful, but it's not that painful to the child.  Definitely have the pedi take a look.
