If it's not chicken pox, what could it be?

DD1 was sent home from nursery last wk with chicken pox. She has a few tiny, blistered spots on her face but no more has come up and she's not scratching them.
Took her to gp who said it's almost definitely chicken pox.
DD is not ill, hasn't been ill in the last few wks and these spots dont look as angry and big as I thought chicken pox was.
To top it off, I think I have now got a couple on my chin although I have had chicken pox and shingles already.

I usually trust what the gp says but could this be something else?

Impetigo? Sorry, no other ideas.

Thanks, that actually looks more likely now I've checked out nhs direct.
