Chicken Pox help - pic

Good morning.
Does this look like the start of chicken pox? My DD (7) had these start yesterday lunchtime. She had no idea they were there as they are not itchy. She had a bout of diarrhoea last weekend (8 days ago) that lasted two days but other than that is not feeling under the weather at all.

I dabbed them with camomile lotion last night so I could tell if any new ones appeared and they haven't. They are just at top of her back and no where else.

I've kept her off school today to see if anymore appear. My Ds(4) is currently off with sickness and diarrhoea, so wondering if it's the start of chicken pox or a viral rash 🤷🏼‍♀️

Chicken pox had been doing its round sun her class so keeping an open mind

Can you take a close up of the spot with the lotion washed off?

Does look like it is chicken pox to me, I'm sure if it is more will soon pop up over the day

Looks like CP to me. It took a couple of days for them to appear after on Dd1.

Hi, it does look like chicken pox to me, my two daughters have it currently and it started out just red and only became itchy 48 hours later. Piriton and virasooth have helped us good luck
