My child has this one spot and a few smaller les red ones on her face but she has nursery tomorrow and all the staff are pregnant she has a cold but no temperature or sickness but just want to keep everyone safe . I didn’t think any of it however mum said it looks like chicken pox and now I’m unsure.

Could be.

If it's chicken pox you'll likely know by the morning!

I wouldn't send a child with potential chicken pox into an environment where I knew there were pregnant women. Occupational hazard working in a nursery, sure, but still. If it's potential pox then keep the child at home.

Thank you she had a it yesterday so I guess it's just a waiting game I really wouldn't concider it normally just I had a hospital appointment and wanted to get an opinion but it seeem like I either wait for more spots or it to blister
