Does this look like it could be start of chicken pox? One on the left looks like a skin tag (which is new and a few more like this on his leg) The one of the right is very red. I know someone was off with chicken pox in his class.

No, it looks like a red skin tag.

Ok, thank you. Seems like he has had about 4/5 skin tags appear randomly over the last couple of weeks. Is this normal? He's 7 and his dad does have some skin tags so runs in the family.
