Chicken pox?

5 replies

Does this look like chicken pox? On both arms and one spot on his leg but nowhere else yet. Totally panicking as I'm due to have a baby any day so timing couldn't be worse if it is!
He also has eczema so I'm thinking it could maybe be that🤞🏻

Bumping to see if anyone has any ideas what it could be 🙂

I don't think that looks particularly poxy, the blisters would be fluid filled if it were. But I'm not an expert and it's been almost a year since I last saw chicken pox! How is he otherwise? My two were both grumpy AF preceeding the rash appearing.

@Damntheman he seems okay, bit snotty but no temperature and no more grumpy than usual, maybe it is just eczema after all then 😅

If the spots haven't started spreading by now I'd assume the eczema too :) best of luck!

He's been sent home from nursery with hand, foot and mouth so not chicken pox but not the outcome I was hoping for either! Just praying I don't catch it as baby could be born with it if I do apparently😖
