To send DS to nursery today

Spotted a bump/spot on DS leg and face. Not red, don't appear to be itchy and he is normal in himself.
Is this chickenpox and should I send him to nursery?
Also, does anyone know about the chickenpox vaccine after infection please?

Can you upload a picture? It’s difficult to tell just from description. The fact there’s two far apart isn’t a great sign to be honest. I’d be very wary - has anyone else around him had the pox in the last month?

I would try asking 111, they have nurses that will probably know what to do.

My eldest wasn’t itchy/ill at all with his CP, so unfortunately that’s not a tell either.

I can't find the one on his leg now! He won't stay still for a face photo so I'm afraid not. They just look like bumps, no colour at all. About the size of a spot.

Bed bug bite? Knat nite? Chicken pox spots don’t just disappear that quick.

You don't need to call 111 for one spot. If it's chicken pox they'll know soon enough and call you to collect. It could just be a bite, a random spot or something.

You can't keep them off every time they have one spot. You just need to watch and wait.

(Or two spots....)

He's gone in, like you said @NerrSnerr, the nursery staff will call if necessary. He could have only got it from there anyway.
@snowy81, I couldn't find the spot on a wriggly toddler, that's all.
We definitely don't have bedbugs though

111 because a toddler has one spot?

No wonder these services are so stretched!

You did the right thing, you can't keep him off for one spot.

I sent DD to school with what turned out to be shingles. Unfortunate but it happens!

@YouKidsKeepMeYoung Just thinking’s Of things that could cause a red spot. Ale to mind as I overheard someone in the shop yesterday telling her friend she had one, and the dc had red spots on their legs.
Hope he’s ok, prob all just a little bite off something when outside, and they quickly go!

Ah, thank you Snowy. DS is back and seems fine.
@JacquesHammer, I didn't even know that children could get shingles!
