Hi guys, me again!

So my daughter came up with spots and I'm convinced it's not chicken pox. We spoke to the drs and they did a video chat and said it is chickenpox.
She doesn't have a temp! She has a very snotty and runny nose and spots only under her armpit. No where else. I'm confused. Aren't they supposed to be covered with it, with a raging temp etc!! First time with potential pox in the house. Have attached pics for some help!!

Thanks guys! ❤️

My eldest had chicken pox without any symptoms apart from a few spots.

And it definitely was chickenpox because it was going round the nursery, and my youngest got it a couple of weeks later (she was absolutely covered, and did have a temp for a couple of days).

Perhaps she has chickenpox and a cold?

The GP is likely to be right.
