Chicken pox or HFM?

Unsure if this is chicken pox or HFM.

Spots started on her bum and got worse over 24hrs.
She has spots on her hands, legs, tummy, feet and in her mouth but none on her face.
Blisters forming on hands and she has ulcers on her tongue.
She has had a temp for 2 days and hasn't eaten properly in about a week.

One doctor said HFM
The other said chicken pox🥲

Hoping it's pox. We had HFM with my first and it was awful😫 thank you!!

I'm really hoping so. My eldest is nearly 6 and he still hasn't had it.

Just worrying me because aside from her bum, it's mainly on her hands and in her mouth so I'm panicking it's HFM🥲🥲
