Chicken pox - no blisters?

3 replies

My dd has what I assume is chicken pox - it started coming out Friday and she got more yesterday and today.

Mostly front and back a few in other places.....but my question is.......they don't look like they are blistering?

A couple look scabby but I think they are ones she scratched. The two big ones are the first two she had - are they just taking a while to develop?

They also don't seem to be itchy.

Is this normal - I was expecting lots of blisters and itching?

With my DSs the first few blistered (and scarred) but the later ones to appear were just red bumps.

I’d be open minded to it not being chickenpox.

Thank you - That's sounds just like what hers are like. I rang 111 to see if this was normal and they got their usual overreacting self when they heard spots and wanted to send me to a&e.....

She's fine in herself so really just wanted to make sure if wasn't some sort of normal rash.
