What are these spots? Pic attached

DD (9) has had these little spots on the inside of her elbow for about a month now, and also some on her stomach. They're quite itchy. She had chicken pox when she was 6 weeks old so I don't think it's that. Also not bothering her enough to warrant disturbing the doctor.

Any ideas? Thank you

Shingles maybe?

do they look like this? there is some advice on the website if you suspect that it is the same thing x

They look like mollescum contagiosum to me.

Do you have a hot tub? Could be foliculitis?

Yep agree with @bloodywhitecat

My daughter had it and it went after a few weeks.

No hot tub and she tends to have a shower rather than a bath. They don't look as red as the picture on the NHS site but I'm wondering if it that, thank you.

there are some clearer pictures on google if you look up mollescum contagiosum, they aren't always that red x
