What looks like chicken pox but isn't?

[Wowzeroony]

My 6yo twins have come up in spots that look like the start of chicken pox but they've already had it! They're all on their legs/stomach areas, and have little white heads on some of the spots, no blisters. Just noticed them this evening. Wondering if i should just wait and see if they go away or if i should keep them off school and try and get them to the doctor's tomorrow in case it's something like impetigo as i gather they might need anti biotics if so. They said they're not itchy or painful and they have no other symptoms.

Hand foot & mouth?

Just because they've had it once doesn't mean they won't get it again. DS had it 3 times.

You can have it multiple times. Mine has had it 7 times now. Just depends whether they develop immunity.

Impetigo doesn't particularly look like chicken pox

Could be impetigo. It did the rounds at DD's school recently. Looks like chicken pox but isn't!
Have a look at pics online to see if they look similar.
Cream cleared it up in a few days.

Molluscum? Though I doubt they’d appear so quickly.

Monkey pox...

My DS has chicken pox right now and he's already had it, probably a different strain or something.

Thank you all. I'm leaning away from chicken pox because there's no blistering at all. I'll give the gp a call.

Molluscum

Molluscum

Definitely get the GP to check. I hope it's not mollescum, it's a pain to get rid of 😩

If its molluscum it took us 2 years to clear dds. Hope the gp helps.

There is monkey pox in the UK at the moment. Definately see the GP. I hope DC is well again soon.

The GP reckoned flea bites, as considering their age they've spent a lot of time rolling around in grass in the past week or so at various parks after school. I'm not convinced because they're not itchy but the GP knows better than me!

well there is something going round were u can get chicken pox more than once
