The ones on her arms deffo!

Don't say 'just chisckenpox' is can be an evil virus. Both me and DD ended up in hospital. DD has hoffiric scars on her face still, 5 years on.

Good luck with it all Flowers

Yes. I hope your DD is ok. My eldest was mildly ill with CP but my youngest was really poorly, down his throat etc.
I think you definitely should ring the GP though and let them know. Whether the GP wants to see her in person or by video appointment, is another matter. Poor thing.

Sorry that was really insensitive of me 💐 sorry you and your daughter suffered so badly with it I'm praying this is a mild case of it and the other two avoid it 😬. Have phoned gp and have sent pics just waiting on them phoning back .

Oh OP I didn't mean that! Bless you!

No, no, I was just so blase about the whole thing and then wham... infected spots everywhere, hospital and I got shingles.

Just keep your eye on it. It really can be nasty.

By now (24 hours?) DD was covered. It was her face that upset me most Sad But hopefully your DD is a mild case. But do take care of yourself too. It can be so nasty.
