First picture doesn't really look like chicken pox but the arm one does! As pharmacist says if they become fluid filled and spread all over then it's chicken pox.

Thanks no god it went away last night then came back today, I gave her an antihistamine and it cleared but now has returned 1 hour after the last tablet.

Definitely not chicken pox then. If its responsive to an antihistamine then it must be some kind of allergy to something, try and wrack your brain to see if she's come into contact with anything new, new clothes, a field with something in it, new bed clothes, new washing powder, shower gel etc

I thought that too, she hasn't done, ate or been near anything new, I've be wrecking my brain trying to link something.. It got worse after the shower (only used simple Soap - no previous effects using it) and it hasn't faded like it did after the previous antihistamine. The rash on her legs is almost white blotches it doesn't look like the top half at all

Could be a viral rash relating to her being unwell. Looks a little like Roseola.
