IS THIS CHICKEN POX

My 13 month old son started developing spots on monday on his legs they spread to his bottom / nappy area, they have formed into blisters some of which are starting to scab. They are all different sizes some are quite big. He has some on the ends of his fingers and a few on his arms as well. Dr thinks it is chicken pox but isn't it unusual to not have then on torso and face. They do seem to itch at times as he rubs his legs on the carpet. He is having no trouble eating or drinking.

Ends of fingers is weird one to me.
Sounds reasonably like CP otherwise.

Hand foot and mouth? My Ds just had this. Not dissimilar to cp but apparently not itchy. No spots on torso either. I got it too..spots feel like splinters. Keep the calpol going!!!

Yes, was going to suggest HFAM too. Does the rounds in the summer. Is he dribbling?
