Rashes Outbreak - Fifth Disease? (Erythema infectiosum)

Oh no, after reading up more about hives, Shaun's rashes din quite look like a hives, and it actually seems to look more like Fifth Disease instead!!

because his cheek was so red .. just like what i saw here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema_infectiosum
http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/fifth.html

And i read from another site that the rashes outbreak happened after mild fever/cold. And yes! few weeks ago he has got mild fever, not even a fever cuz it was less than 37.5 degree. And he has got runny nose.

So, is Shaun really having fifth disease/Erythema infectionsum????????

Actually I was quite skeptical with the Dr's diagnose yesterday as he din really look carefully on Shaun's rash and said "HIVES" liao.
