Does this looks like a chickenpox??

[EggyEggEg]

Started yesterday with some minor looking spots, some with white ends. Today looks more red and aggressive, probably also due to picking them, no itchy at all! Few spots/rash in groin area but nowhere else on the body. Nothing on the hands/feet/mouth. No fever no discomfort.
there’s a picture coming!

Looks more like hand, foot and mouth. My kids had very few spots on their hands and feet, was mostly around/in their mouth and nappy areas.

Chicken pox is usually itchy and usually get a fever at the start.

Yes could be chickenpox, see if it gets itchy and scabs over, if its chickenpox. I would show it to the nurse or doctor

Its not the typical presentation for chickenpox. More likely to be hamd foot and mouth

Chickenpox forms fluid filled blisters. Doesnt sound like thats what they were

Thank you!
Ah I will call GP tomorrow morning, I’m just not sure if I have to keep him off the school tomorrow!

Looks like hand foot and mouth to me.

NHS guidance is don't have to stay off school if well in themselves. Check in case school has local policy but otherwise should be fine to go in if it's HFM (it's really doing the rounds at the moment)

Looks more like hand foot and mouth. We tend to call it hand foot and bum.

well I wouldn’t be sending mine that’s for sure. He will be feeling crap

The one in the middle of his chin looks like molluscum contagiosum. Did they all look like that before he scratched them?

I’m more worried about spreading them if it’s something more contagious. He’s been totally fine since yesterday. He’s been absolutely fine apart from the spots.

They looked like very small pimples. You wouldn’t notice them from afar. Today they are more red and prominent.

yup. I would see what night brings but wouldn’t be sending to school without seeing doctor.

Managed to get an appointment this morning.
The GP said it looks like chickenpox but not 100% sure. Ruled out impetigo due to no hard yellow crust and also probably not HFM because there are no spots on his hands, feet or mouth. Told me to keep him home today obviously and monitor the spots. Suggested he could go back to school on Wednesday! Really? If its really chickenpox?
came out not really wiser!
This morning few more small red spots on his bum.
Could I get a second opinion from pharmacy?

Honestly, they don't have to have spots in all the places for HFM. Spots on bum also sounds like HFM in my experience (work in a nursery and it has done the rounds over the past few weeks)

It is almost certainly HFM, are you sure it was a doctor you saw? Or a PA?

HFM is commonly around the mouth and nappy region. It certainly does not look like CP and is not following a typical CP distribution.

As I said earlier. Hand foot and bum we call it.

mine never had hands and feet. Just face and bum
