Son, crazy, with a rash look? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spotty

'with a rash look?' is the definition.
(having spots or a rash)

'son crazy' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'crazy' becomes 'potty' (I've seen this before).
's'+'potty'='SPOTTY'

(Other definitions for spotty that I've seen before include "Covered in rash" , "With skin blemishes" , "Covered in blotches" , "Pimply or covered with dots" , "Covered in acne" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
