To think maybe chicken pox

Mostly for traffic, my DD is 12 and when she was born, her sister had chicken pox. DD had a couple of spots at about a month old and I kind of assumed she had had chicken pox as a result.

Anyways, she came back from her weekend at her dad's with a line of spots around her nose and forehead. I assumed with her age it was puberty spots. But then I noticed a few on her neck. So now I am wondering if it could be chicken pox. Any thoughts?

The ones on her neck don’t look like it to me. My youngest had it a week ago and the first sign was red spots on her torso. Those don’t look red. Might not be anything x

It's odd, I'm not sure what to make of the ones on her neck too. One of them looks like it has a crust on the top, the other looks like a blister. The ones on her face she has been rubbing at and I can see tiny red bumps in her hair line on her forehead too. I've got her in the bath to see if the water brings more out anywhere.

The neck ones look like molluscum. My dd had it after chicken pox. GP said it was a sister type virus. Dd kept scratching them, which caused the virus to spread. I popped them and cleaned the area with antibacterial cleanser and dabbed on germaline. It cleared up pretty quick qnd she had no scarring.
