Hi just wondering if any other parents may know, sounds stupid but we aren’t sure if this is chicken pox or anything else?
my daughter woke up yesterday morning with these spots on her stomach and only here except 2 on her wrist.. they haven’t spread anywhere else, she’s no other symptoms of the likes of chicken pox so unsure if it could be that?

Hi @MyCandidPoster, I also think that they look like either flea bites, or Chicken Pox spots. I contracted Shingles when I was 17, and my Dr said that people can only get shingles if they have already had Chicken Pox. However, neither my mother or I can remember me ever having Chickenpox, and my medical records don't show any signs of me having had Chicken Pox.

So maybe I did have Chickenpox when I was younger, but it was so mild that none of us registered it? Perhaps your DD is also having a very mild bout of Chickenpox. I do think you should get her checked out before the spots dissappear if you can.
