water blisters on dd2's arm

[biglips]

it started off with one spot a few days ago and now noticed that it had spreaded a few more spots (more like water blisters).

It looks like Chicken pox but there is about 40/50 spots now all in one area of her arm (its on her arm joint) and there is 3 on the arm and no where else. her skin is inflammed too on that spots area.

ive booked to see her gp in the morning.

maybe its hand and foot, psorarsis or summat else...

thanks

oh crap!....its impetigo.....im sure it is as im looking at this

The rash typically appears 4-10 days after you have been infected with the bacteria. Small blisters develop at first. You may not see the blisters as they usually burst to leave scabby patches on the skin. Sometimes only one or two patches develop. They often look like moist, golden crusts stuck on to the skin. An area of redness (inflammation) may develop under each patch. Sometimes affected skin is just red and inflamed - especially if the 'crust' is picked or scratched off.

Dd1 had impetigo last year, gp gave her antibiotics but had to keep her at home for a week, she only had a small patch on her chin though.

was your dd1 given any cream too or just antibiotics?

Just antibiotics, it soon crusted over once she started taking them.

its shingles not impetigo.

Oh no, poor thing . My step son had shingles a couple years ago and it was very nasty. Hope she feels better soon xxx

thanks marne
