Is this eczema or chicken pox (pics)

Hi everyone

My DD (3.10) has mild eczema which we use oilatum bath additive and cream to control.

In the last few days, there's been a flare up on her skin, mainly on her back and chest (see pics). Do you think this is eczema flaring up, or maybe chicken pox, or something else?

It's not bothering her at all. A slight loss of appetite in the last couple of days, but otherwise no symptoms.

We know there have been some cases of chicken pox at school, but nothing in the last week that we know of.

We're loathe to waste a GP's appointment if it's something an extra few dollops of cream can sort!

Thanks.
