She's had chicken pox, and so has her sister.
She's perfectly well in herself.
However, for about the last four weeks, she's had itchy spots all over her. I'd say there might be about twenty or thirty spots but they are all over, from her feet, some on her legs, her chest and back and up to her arms. They are quite spread out. They are not blisters, they don't ooze anything, they are just itchy. They look to me like bites but dh and the doctor say no. No one else has them.
The doctor was a bit stumped but thought it might be a kind of eczema and has given us some moisturising cream and hydrocortisone to put on the spots. I've been googling childhood eczema though and it looks nothing like it. She hasn't got red rough weepy patches and nothing in any creases. And she's five which seems a bit late for eczema.
I am at a bit of a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Obviously she's been at school all this time. I just hope no one else suddenly develops spots.
