Chicken pox or something else?

[55Sainz]

Wee one had croup last week and generally feeling lousy, temp etc, but back to normal lately.

Came into contact with a kid at nursery who had chicken pox 3.5 weeks ago, but not sure if this is a rash or start of chicken pox.

Mostly on back and torso, some at backs of knees.

Thats not chicken pox, it looks more like a viral rash to me. Very common after they have been ill.

I agree it’s a post viral rash.

Not chicken pox, the blisters are larger. That looks quite rough, viral rash I'd say

Thanks all! :)

hi I was just wondering if anyone could help me ? My daughter started with a couple little red spots on her lower tummy since then they’ve got bigger and little heads on them but there only up her side this is day 3 and she’s now started with a cough and really wingey but no more spots on the other side of her body, is it chicken pox but coming out slowly ???

That does look more like chicken pox in places. Do the blisters have liquid in them? It's hard to tell from the pictures. If they do it will be chicken pox. If not it could be bites but unlikely.

She may just have a very mild case. Which does mean she can get it again!
