DS - 11 months had one big red spot on his chest about three days ago. Today about 20 appeared on his back and two on his face - those on his face are quite pale pink, those on his back are quite small and reddish. He has been out in the sun and has been playing on the grass and by a river today so could be bites. Chicken pox is around a lot at the moment. Is it chicken pox - how do I tell? I know about the blister thing but I can't really tell. Is it obvious? Do you go to the GPs to confirm?
