Chickenpox without the blisters

6 replies

I found out today that my dd nursery has had a few cases of chickenpox
Last week my dd came out in a few spots ( maybe 10) they never blistered but after 4-5 days did scab over
They where large spots and different to the pimples that she gets
One on her arm, 3 on her torso and a couple on her legs I think
She never itched, never had a temp or runny nose
Nothing to suggest she was unwell and up until now I thought they was just insect bites until I saw CP is going round the nursery
So can u get pox without them blistering!?
Has she had a really mild case ? She hasn't been vaxxed for it
Will attach pics of a couple of them

The fact they did scab over suggests pox to me, albeit a very mild case. In my experience, if they have it very mildly they won’t necessarily become immune and may catch it again at a later date.

She also had some other pimple like ones which didn't scab but a few of them did scab and shes been in a setting it's cirucluating
Obviously nothing I can do but I just wondered if it's possible to get pox without the blisters

It's certainly possible to have them so mildly you barely notice. My mum swears blind that I never had chicken pox as a child, but a blood test showed me to be strongly immune, so I must have had it in some form or other!

I honestly did not think there was a chance it was pox as I would not of taken her out as usual as they never blistered
I didn't consider it until nursery said it's going round
