Any ideas?? Chicken pox or hives??

13mo, no fever, eating etc fine, sleeping fine. Very clingy though.

I first noticed it on Wednesday and there are a few more spots now.

Dr's are chocka at the mo so won't get in until next week at the earliest.

Thanks all x

Have you run a glass over them to see if they disappear?

Looks like chicken pox to me. But I'm not a doctor/medical professional.

GinLimeandLemonade · 29/11/2019 09:33

They are little filled blisters aren't they? They look like it on my phone but if they're not then yeah, definitely do the glass test.

It goes when you put a glass on it.

The dr receptionist said I could go to the walk in clinic. I might head over there now.

They're really hard. I remember my eldests being very like blisters when she had it.

If the spots are firm and not too itchy it could be molluscum? Maybe google images and see what you think?

Second molloscum!

Helenj1977 · 29/11/2019 11:22

My eldest has that at the moment on her stomach. She's had it for months...

Molloscum is (mildly) contagious, so it's pretty likely as your DD has it.
