To be honest, it doesn't really sound like you're dealing with an allergy. My guess is that it's something viral. Hope you get some answers at the hospital. Keep us posted.

Can you go back to your gp and ask for a referral to an allergist? If might be a while but sometimes if you emphasize how young your dd is it might help. So sorry about the appt. Stay with your gp"'s recommendation for the meds and request a referral.

So it started with the introduction of cows milk formula, But she has no other symptoms? If she isn't bothered by the rash could you wait another week or so and see if it clears on its own?

Or take the formula out, then you will know if it it an allergy or more likely an intolerance.

GP told us to take the formula out on fri for the weekend....saw her again on Tues & she said to put it back in again!!!which we did!Docs today told us to take her off the antihistamines (unfortunately for us cause they made her super drowsey!!! ;) ) I'm def gonna phone the GP tomorrow & see what the next step would be if i went forward myself. Think for now, yes, i will just carry on as before & see if it clears itself/gets significantly worse over the next few days. We're not sure if it is an allergy or just viral...also not sure if it was the formula or a food/cereal....catch 22 re taking out the formula again cause my BM supplies are seriously running out.Im back to doing 1 BF a day for now (so much for being finished with BFing!!!) but im getting practically nothing when i pump so reeeeally hoping it's not the formula!

Ugh, and we have a new one too ATM ::) AND it sounds similar!
http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=242029.0

Okay so only based on our history, and it does sound very similar, though our rash had more whip like white marks through the rash - and raised, I think it is most likely viral.
What I did learn after last time was that you can have a histamine allergic reaction to a virus! - these can last a while too...like weeks.

If the antihistamine helps, and if your LO is generally well, and nothing else has changed then I would give it up to two weeks before panicking. Only because drs etc just can't and won't really do much before tis timeframe unless it is causing LO discomfort/making them unwell, or appears to be a dangerous rash. 

As I say this, I have posted in a panic ::) :-* hugs

Ds1 had exactly what zacsmumme described - chronic idiopathic urticaria. Except ds1 had it for almost two months. It really bothered him, so it's great that it's  not bothering your dd.
