DS has what looks like chicken pox just on legs and bottom. Thought it was meant to be a torso thing?

So I guess Im wondering, are the spots bites, some thing else entirely? But they do look chicken-poxy ie small angry red spots with little blisters in the middle. Lots of CP at his school too...but I thought he'd had it, albeit mildly! Any thoughts? TIA!

CP isn't just a torso thing - it's an everywhere and every orifice thing. Sorry.

Hand foot and mouth, without the hands and mouth? Could be bites too though.

I think they're usually on the torso but not always. If he's has them mildly before he can get them again too.

DS started on his feet - he had loads. He was covered within 48 hours.

Eeek! Look forward to tomorrow then! Its either more spots or hand foot and mouth!

Could it be molluscum? DS and DD both had that only on their legs and bottoms.

It can start any where (on the body that is) and you can get it more than once, i know someone who got it 3 times.
