Chicken pox?! Is it? Isn't it?

Morning when my little girl got up this morning I noticed a small blister spot on her arm (first pic). She also had another spot on the back of her leg that looked like it could have been a spot that's popped. (Second pic) but now the blister has popped 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've been to the pharmacy and because it popped they couldn't be sure but what do you think?

She had a snotty nose and sneezes for the last week or two as well and chicken pox is rife at her nursery/my work.

I would think it could be. Not all kids get covered in spots. Sometimes takes a few days for the spots to appear. If it's rife at your child's nursery then I would assume it was. Especially if she was run down the week before.

Our little one had about 4 or 5 blisters like this and that was it! I don't know for sure but I think she had them!

It could be. The spots usually start of the trunk of the body though. Once they get going they multiply rapidly.

Obviously there's always some that only get a few spots but for most there's quite a few and you know for sure when they keep popping up and blistering.

If Chicken Pox is at her nursery and she's not had it before, the chances of escaping it are slim.
