Chicken Pox?!

Does this look like the start of chicken pox?
DS has these two spots appear, is feeling a bit off and not himself. No other spots anywhere on the body yet.
Has been a case in his class a week ago.
Thoughts?!

Yes, looks like it.

DustyLee123 · 19/12/2023 21:38

Yes.

Looks like it to me too, especially if he's had it going round his class. Hopefully he's over the worst of it by next Monday and not too itchy although it's well timed to not miss school so that's one silver lining I suppose.

I think it looks like it. Stock up on paracetamol and poxclin

When was this picture taken? CP are rapid and spread like wild fire.

MrsJPinkman · 19/12/2023 21:41

If it is CP, don't give ibuprofen, always paracetamol.

It looks like it. As a pp said, you’ll know for sure soon enough if it is. They spread fast
