? Rash, surely not chicken pox?

[user1477259453]

Can anyone shed any light on this rash? He has an episode of vomiting on Wednesday, and two days of high fever at that time. And then a few spots came up on Friday so I assumed it was going to turn out to be chicken pox. But they've all stayed on his face and look like this? A few have been there a bit longer than that and we thought he was scratching them so we cut all his nails but more keep coming up. Any ideas?

Looks like chicken pox!

Ask a pharmacist?

Thank you! I just thought they were too small to be chicken pox, my other son's were much larger and on his body too not just face? I guess they're all different!

Looks like it could be chicken pox, especially if more are still coming up. It also looks like you are out and about which is a pretty irresponsible if you think there's a chance he has chicken pox.

I personally don't think they look at all like chicken pox, everyone I have asked have agreed, they don't itch at all and they are all scabbed over. I understand you can go out with chicken pox if they are scabbed over? I thought more likely to be a viral rash and you aren't contagious with this as long as the fever has gone.
