teething?

ok moms out there - i need a little help.

tuesday night, gemma developed a red rash (little bumps) all over her belly. it has started to spread to her shoulders, cheeks, chin, and upper arms. she has a few spots on her legs as well. took her to the doctor. she does not have a fever and doesn't appear to be bother by the bumps. he admitted to being stumped. he thought it might be a contact allergy. which it may very well be. but she has started to become extra drooly lately and has been a little fussy while nursing. almost like her mouth is sensitive. and poor thing won't keep her hands out of her mouth.

so now i am starting to think she might be teething. she was a little warm last night and crying (not like her). i've seen some internet talk about a full body rash similar to what she has when a baby is teething. now i'm curious. has anyone heard of such a thing? or even experienced it?

She still looks happy even with the rash. But it doesn't look pretty. She's so precious, my first guess would be laundry products or fabrics.

It might be a tumor. It's not a tuma!
