Ds age 18months had already had chicken pox in Feb this year , he has come out with a single red spot on his tunmy. I have convinced myself it's the start of chicken pox again as he didn't have it too bad last time .
Dh thinks it's a bite, took him to pharmacist and she said poss a bite.
We are due to fly on Sunday opinions on chcikeb pox or bite please I'm so stressed !

highly doubt it's chicken pox but give it an hour and you'll soon know if it is or not as they spread so fast.

other than that why not trust the professional whose opinion was sought?

He's had it since this morning and nothing else has come up.
Thanks for your reply.

That's a bite. You're fine!

To me, looks like the pox (sorry OP). You'll know for sure by tomorrow morning... if it's a mild case, they form slower, so tomorrow you should be able to make a call.

DD started with chicken pox this morning. No spots at all last night. She'd got about 30 overnight, & at least a dozen new ones since breakfast time. They develop fast!
