Does this look like chicken pox, dd little friend has it but this appears to be very mild if it is. She has also been on antibiotics recently and finished a 5 day course 4 days ago.
Keeping her away from others just in case.
Thanks

When did those spots appear? If it’s chicken pox there’ll be loads more by morning and you’ll know for sure

Yes it does I think, that's how dts started. A couple of spots and then gradually worse over 48 hours.

@ThatsNotEvenAWord they appeared a couple of days ago, gradually got a few more but nothing horrific.
Have read they can be milder in bf babies so i’m hoping a mild case then over with.
Didn’t want to keep her isolated unnecessarily but will be housebound for a while.
