Has anyone else had a child who got an extra rash whilst they had chicken pox? DS2 got his first pox spots 7 days ago, although the main crop only came out on about Wednesday. No real problems - mild temp, bit crabby, spots have scabbed over within hours. However yesterday he got another rash - pinprick size red/purple dots which didn't blanch. Was very worried and on advice of NHS Direct went to A&E. They said it was just a viral rash, probably associated with the chicken pox, but nothing to worry about since DS2 was jumping around everywhere well in himself.
Just wondered if anyone else had had a similar experience?
