Anyone have any idea what these spots could be? they are very small raised red bumps, some with yellow heads, none on face or head, just 2 behind ears, dotted over arms and legs, a few on torso, none in mouth.
They look like the start of chicken pox and pharmacist said the same on Friday but they haven’t blistered.
They don’t appear to be bothering dd too much, she’s not scratching them (although have been giving her antihistamines)
She has been unwell with a cold which tailed off at the end of September but then this past week she’s been under the weather again, had a slightly raised temp for 2 nights (but fine over the weekend)

Don’t think they’re bites as they’re not bothering her (and rest of the family have none)
Not had anything new that would cause a reaction, food & washing powder etc all the same.

Might be https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/molluscum-contagiosum/ molloscum . Sometimes mistaken for chicken pox. Annoying little condition that lurks around for some months then clears up once the immune system kicks in.
