And is their seriousness underestimated?
DS had chicken pox about 7 weeks ago. He had what I now realise was a mild dose. He has about 5 or 6 scars on his whole body now, 2 quite deep ones. DD caught them next and had a horrendous dose. She's was absolutely covered from head to toe and was very feverish and sick. She's been left with 8 scars all over her nose, 4 pitted ones, and her whole torso/ back is still covered in faintish purple marks.
So in your experience it it normal for kids to be left with so many pox scars and how long did they take to clear? And why encourage pox parties when chicken pox can be actually quite dangerous?
