Chicken pox

Moppincraxy · 19/04/2022 10:16

Yes looks like chicken pox to me.

TeddyBeans · 19/04/2022 10:17

Could be molluscum contagiosum. They look similar to the bumps DS had when he had it

Start of chicken pox would be my guess

ApolloandDaphne · 19/04/2022 10:18

I had chicken pox at 19, the don't itch at the start, they just pop up. The blister on them is clear signs of chicken pox. Wishing him a speedy recovery x

Another vote for chicken pox

DatingAWidower22 · 19/04/2022 12:12

Definitely chicken pox

Chicken pox as they've just popped up. Molescum is slower ime.

I had chickenpox in my 20s. They didn't itch until day 5. My temperature came up on day 4 and I felt rotten, so spent ages trying to bring my temperature down. When it came down, I itched unbearably. So I went for a hot shower and brought it up again and (possibly psychologically) they stopped itching.
