To think these are chicken pox?

[leepingup]

30 years old. My niece has had chicken pox recently who I frequently see. I haven't had them. Being feeling a little unwell the past few days, however, I'm training for a marathon so put it down to that.

However, today I've been feeling slightly itchy and now these spots have appeared. Just on my ankle, no where else.

Does this seem like chicken pox?

No. Normally starts on the trunk and would be fluid filled.

No.

Better pic

No.
if it was they would spread quickly from the trunk

Doesn't look like CP

You'll know more in the morning....

Sorry, what is the 'trunk'?

Your body/torso.

Torso

London marathon? Good luck!!!

Looks like insect bites to me.

No, looks like bites to me. Have you been gardening or swimming in the sea?

None of you are qualified to make such assumptions. Thank you.

Why ask on here then?

Well that took a rapid turn!

YABU. They are most definitely not even slightly like chicken pox.

😂

You asked! .

What a rude reply OP!

Why on earth did you ask and what answers were you wanting??? You do realise that Dr's, nurses, dermatologists, consultants and other health professional DO read MN don't you???

If this is a serious thread, if it isn't CP, I'd strongly advise you get the vaccine

You asked.
They don’t look like chicken pox.
Flea bites?
You’re welcome!

Have a warm bath and see if any more pop out, when my DC had chicken pox they came out alarmingly fast in the bath.

They look like flea bites.

But what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ahhhh see, you should have said in your post "only qualified medical doctors need reply." Then only qualified people would have looked at your picture and said that that really doesn't look like chicken pox, which usually start on your torso and not on your ankle.

Wow 😂
