Where on the body does chicken pox show first?

[Bellyrub1980]

My 14mo has a suspicious looking rash on her bottom and between her legs. Look like mosquito bites but this is very unlikely in the UK this time of year... Chicken pox maybe?

Hfm then

Sounds more like hfm
My leading pox was in my hair and DD2's was on her shoulder blade.

I agree. Just read through the symptoms. Her cough, which she had anyway following a cold a few weeks ago, suddenly ramped up today. A cough is one of the top listed symptoms.

She is currently whimpering in her sleep.

🙁

Amy magic tips for HFM out there?

I felt awful because I didn't know DS had HFM until I bathed him one night and found the soles of his feet were absolutely covered with blisters! He didn't have them anywhere else and I'd taken him to a toddler group that day.

He was completely fine about it, no temp or other symptoms. I think I'd give Calpol to soothe her, she sounds like she's not feeling great poor thing.

Also, I remember DS getting CP because he had a really high temp and stayed in bed with me so I could keep an eye on him. I literally watched the first blister appear on his forehead and slowly fill with pus overnight.

Bit of a random one but need some suggestions. My almost 4 month old has really chunky legs and every pair of spcks i put on him leave marks and imprints. I have tried many different shops? Anyone else have the same trouble and can recommend any?

That should obviously say socks!
