My DS has come up with odd spots since yesterday. He has like a a couple of spots scattered on his body. Do they look like chicken pox or could it just be heat spots? We go turkey in a few days and don’t know what it is. He’s showing no symptoms as in temperature or signs of illnesses

It's a little difficult to tell from the photos. They do look a little like chicken pox... have any more appeared? If not, then they're likely just heat spots. Normally, with chicken pox, the spots start appearing in droves and rapidly! Although I do know a few people who said their kids only got a handful of spots.

in any case, once the spots appear, it's the beginning of the end.... in about 7 days he should be recovered fully with just the scabs to heal. Doesn't help if you're going on holiday in a couple of days though. I'll keep my fingers crossed no more have appeared for you xxx
