What could these spots be?

Two spots appeared on four month olds leg, lower leg and then the opposite thigh. Nowhere else at the moment. Not insect bite, as I noticed the lower leg one a few days ago but it was a small spot so didn’t think twice, but now it’s a lot bigger and more noticeable. Will take to docs to double check but seems fine in himself just wondering if anyone has any ideas tia x

Chickenpox?

Looks very much like chickenpox to me.

Thank you for replies! No doc appts available so taking him to pharmacy, he’s just slept for two hours straight so didn’t want to wake him! We haven’t been in contact with anyone with chicken pox that I know of that’s why I didn’t think it could be that ? But will see x

Hey my baby also came up with a similar spot. It started off as a tiny red dot and then turned into a bump just like your babys. Its not affecting her aswell. Did you manage to find out what it could be?

Hiya ! No the spots just went away by themselves. I delayed the 16 week vaccinations by a couple of weeks just in case there was anything underlying but it didn’t turn out to be anything :)
