DD1 aged 5, woke up this morning scratching at her chest. When I had a look, she had a rash that resembles chicken pox. She has clusters of spots across her chest, belly, back and shoulder, and since then has some on her face and neck.
However, she had chicken pox about three years ago. And also, we're on lockdown and havent left the house in a month so have no idea how she would have caught it? Last time she caught it from me when I had shingles. She didnt have it mildly and was quite poorly with a fever, headache, aches and pains and was off her food for a good week or so. DD2 (aged 2, hasnt had it before) is currently not showing any symptoms or spots.
I've attached the clearest photo I can get of the spots. It doesnt look like an allergy or heat rash, and doesnt appear to be bites or hives either. She was playing in the garden yesterday (as she does either day) but was bathed before bed (with her usual bath products) and slept in freshly washed bed sheets (washed with usual detergent). She didnt eat or drink anything that she wouldn't normally. She was rebathed this morning and I put calamine lotion on her. Spots haven't faded and more have appeared. She has no other symptoms.
Our GP was closed over Easter monday and tuesday, so their telephone lines have been so busy today playing catch up that I haven't been able to get through to see if I can send the pictures. She isnt unwell otherwise to justify taking anymore serious action, it's just the itchy spots.
If anyone can shed some light on it for me I'd really appreciate it!
