Is it possible to have one spot without being ill and the diagnosis is chicken pox? This is what the doctor reckons is the case.

Anyone's DC experienced similar?

By TheArmadillo on Tue 18-Nov-08 18:14:33

yep.

Some people have it really lightly (can't think of better word to describe it).

So yes, one spot and not really seeming even under the weather.

However it can get worse, but won't necessarily.

Yes, dd1 (3.5 at time) had about three spots, plus two under the hair line. She was quite grumpy and her behaviour went down, but not too unwell. Three weeks later, dd2 (6 months at time) got chickenpox and was covered.

Yes.

My son had 1 spot and then got it properly a few weeks later.

yes my DD2 had about 3 spots at the same time as DD1 with full blown chicken pox. She was never off colour and the spots followed the usual CP process of blister, drying up etc. She has been around plenty of children with chicken pox since and never picked it up so guessing she is now immune. Lucky thing! Poor DD1 had a really rough time with nasty itchy spots everywhere.

I think I am correct in saying that they regualarly vaccinate kids against chicken pox in the USA. After seeing how ill DD1 was with it and knowing that it can affect adults quite seriously, am suprised they don’t offer it here

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
