Fwiw~ Even if it is or isn't Fifth's, I would NOT accept a Dr's diagnosis via a cell phone picture.
I would not allow the child to return until a Dr has physically seen him and diagnosed the rash.
I'd have issues with a Dr willing to diagnose something via a cell phone picture and honestly have never heard of a Dr that is willing to do such a thing.
