Does this look like pox/heatrash?

Hi all,
am awaiting call back from dr.
we go on holiday tomorrow.
DS (7) has had pox twice, first time mild.
he was very sweaty overnight so wondering if it could be heat rash. Freaking out over here 😭

Do you mean the three spots on his face? That's not a heat rash.

And do you mean chicken pox? They only get that once and it starts on the torso.

He wouldn't just have face spots with chicken pox

Hi sorry wrote this fast,
yes he woke up with these spots on his face. No other symptoms so far. Both times he had chicken pox confirmed by a doctor (they said it can occur more than once) and last time started on his face. Just very stressed as flying in the morning and don’t want to go with anything contagious obviously and I’m also pregnant and never had chicken pox myself. Just wondering if anyone has seen something similar. They have white tops to them like pimples. Thanks

Is he feeling a bit grotty? I notice he has a bit of a bunged up/crusty nose.

Yes but has for a few weeks, which we have thought is hay fever but now thinking it could have been a build up to something else

Hay-fever (grass allergy!) Can causes rashes.

Chickenpox form blisters rather than having heads on them.

what pox?

Has he got any spots on his hands /feet/inside his mouth?
Could it be hand, foot and mouth? My kids also got spots on their bum too.
