Chicken pox without the blisters.

Dd has had a cold for a while now and a couple of days ago I noticed two pinprick red spots on her torso. There were a few more yesterday (about 5) on her chest and back, so I did the glass test and sent her off to school happy thinking it wasn't anything serious.
Today there are about 15 spots and some of the original ones have disappeared. The problem is, although they look like chicken pox, pin prick and clear fluid filled, they are not particularly big, growing or itchy and none of them are bursting or crusting over, just slowly fading away.
Is this because it is early days yet or just a mild case? Anyone had chicken pox that didn't really develop into the big blisters.

Ds took 3 days to go from pinprick spots to full on pox.

Could it be mollusum contageosum? A cluster or clusters of small fluid filled pustules?

That's good to know Bea, I thought it was much quicker.

Had a look at the images of that rash, NotInMyDay, it doesn't really look like that. It more like the early stage of chicken pox.
