Spots on bum

DD2 has had mild temperatures (38 degrees) on and off since yesterday morning. This morning she has red pimply spots on her bum. It doesn't look like nappy rash. Could be hand foot and mouth - she's had that before, can you get it twice?

What I'm worried about is chicken pox. How quickly does it develop? We're due to go on holiday at the crack of dawn tomorrow. I wouldn't take her if she definitely had CP but don't really want to stay home on the off chance.

Won't share a pic but they are individual red spots about 2-3cm apart, maybe 15 to 20 in total. They don't seem to be bothering her. Apart from the temperature and being a bit tired/drippy she has no other symptoms.
