Anyone know what blistery spot type things around ds (2.5) could be???????????

[Jazzicatz]

Ds has a cold and a rash on his body and has developed these blistery spots on his face like acne. What could they be, and should I be worried. He seems fine in himself, he is eating!!!! TiA

chicken pox?

[SlightlyMadSpider]

Chickenpox is blistery spots filled with clear pus/fluid. Tends to start on body though I think.

Impetigo?

chicken pox have blister type spots. before the spots come the child normally is off colour, tired, whingey etc.

[Jazzicatz]

No not chicken pox, it is just around his mouth - he has had chicken pox and it is not that.

molluscum contagiosum - wart like spots (kinda like chicken pox), part of the pox family, harmless, contagoius if scratched and they leak and you touch it. My DT's have it, one very badly (he has sensitive skin and prone to eczema (sp)) and the other has only a few.

Can take from 9 months - 3 years to go away.

it's a possibility

sounds like could be impetigo? look on website www.patient.uk
If it is very contagious, need to see Dr for cream

[Jazzicatz]

Think I better take him to the docs then!

hand foot and mouth or impetigo.
