Chicken pox!?

Little lady (10 months) has a few spots on face the last 3 days just red spots but 2 in pic are now like small blisters and I'm unsure what they are , wouldn't usually worry about spots as long as they disappear after a day or two but she was in close contact with both my grandparents nearly 3 weeks ago who were diagnosed with shingles 2 days after our visit, could she be after getting chicken pox ?

Highly likely as they were at there most contagious (before spots appear) and it takes around 2 - 3 weeks to appear.

I would just get some chamomile lotion and don't give ibruprofen as this makes it worse. Warn any other mums whose children she may have played with in the last few weeks

you can’t catch chicken pox from shingles unless you are in direct contact with the fluid inside the shingles blisters.

Are the spots only on her face or anywhere else?

Had one on her bum Sunday night which has since burst and is just a red spot now other than that only on her face , 2 on one cheek (blistered), one on other cheek and two on forehead (just red spots at moment) 🤔
