Bites or pox?

6 replies

Quick poll - DC has had one mark 1-2 days, now another (pic attached). Is this more likely to be bites or the pox? How long is there usually between catching chicken pox and the spots appearing?

Thanks!

Definitely look like bites to me. My children haven't had the pox yet though, so I might be wrong!

Where are the spots?
Has the first one turned into a blister yet?

Back of the neck. Not blistered yet. Nothing elsewhere but keep checking!

Chicken pox spots are very blistery. Those look like blurry bites.

Just an update - covered in spots today, some of them crusty (nice!). So definitely the pox after all 😱
