SPOTS - help!

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

Jessi has come out with severe spots on her bum.... after checking her over a bit more thoroughly, there are also single spots on her nech, shoulder, foot and leg..... WHAT IS IT?

Worst area is her bum - covered in them, others are just 1 or 2. She has been really grizzly and not herself for the past few days..... anyone help????

[Kelly1978]

what are the spots like? has she had any vaccinations recently?

[helsi]

dd got sweat rashes easily on her bum and back of her neck etc. she gets vey hot and this is what it was.

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

MMR was in september.

they arent like her usual sweat rash spots - a lot more angry looking.... just wondering if its a doctors trip tomorrow or whether just to leave it and see how it goes....

chicken pox

[LadySherlockofLGJ]

The pops as they are known in this house ??

[Enid]

in the morning she'll be covered

[Enid]

poor lamb

get lots of nurofen and calpol in and calamine cream is better than lotion

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

oh shit.... thought it might be.

[Enid]

really good to get it over with before school though jandrs mummy.

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

but becky is only 2 weeks old.... what if she gets it too????

[Kelly1978]

watch, the baby will prob get it next. dd gave it to my ds while he was still in nappies.

[Kelly1978]

if baby gets it jsut going have to be very careful about her temperature, as she cant have calpol. keep a close eye on her.

[Enid]

babies dont usually suffer that badly jrsmum, it looks unsightly more than anything. There is a three week incubation period so she may get it anytime up till then.

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

really dont need this right now - just praying really hard that im wrong.....guess we will know by tomorrow.... my poor baby!

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

are blisters normal???

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

anyone????

[LadySherlockofLGJ]

.

[megandsoph]

blisters = deffo chicken pox

[MarsLady]

if the spots have blistered it's a good sign. Means they are clearing up.

She could still get more. Once the spots have blistered and dried she's no longer contagious!

[megandsoph]

both dd's had them in june started with blisters

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

NO NO NO NO - Not what i wanted to hear, but thank you everyone!

Phoning docs tomorrow then!

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

just 2 have blistered.... the rest are really red and sore looking.

[MarsLady]

you want to use piriton for the itching. Will call my friend for the name of the lotion that is MILES BETTER than calamine.

[LIZS]

If you mean blisters like when you burn yourself then no, not c'pox. Could be something viral like hand , foot and mouth (not supposed to be on bottom though) or 5th Disease aka Slapped Cheek, are her cheeks very red ? or eczema (sp?)if you've used different washing powder, bath or cream for example.

[megandsoph]

the dr will proberbly give u chamomile lotion but I recommend the chamomile cream if pos as it doesn't dry and make the sores as itchy

hope jess is better soon
