Could this be chicken pox?

Hi- my daughter came out in a rash just yesterday on her bum, and feet and a few on her arms and hands. The thing is, she seems absolutely fine in herself, and wasn't even scratching them, so I thought it was just a heat rash. Plus it's a weekend so can't really call a doc unless it's an emergency.
Then today the rash seemed to have gone down, but then I noticed a couple of them have white blisters in them. When I looked it up it did say on the Nhs site that chicken pox blisters do this. She was drowsiest than usual this aft but then she did get us up at 6!

chicken pox spots are pretty distinctive

they are quite large and will have a fluid filled blister on the top...

Sounds like possible hand foot and mouth - can get them on the buttocks/upper thighs too.

sounds like hand foot and mouth rather than chicken pox

Ah I see- I've looked it up and that could be it. Makes more sense Smile
