Is this Chicken pox?

[ByLuckyLemur]

Hello!
FTM and little one (16 months) has come out in a rash this morning. She had two spots the other day but they didn't develop and came down with a cold on Friday, then this morning all of these spots were here - is this Chicken pox or eczema? Reason I say Eczema is because the larger red area is a patch of it which I've been trying to moisturise and decrease for months.
One spot on her face but not really any others that have developed during the day.
Eating and sleeping okay. Pharmacist thought either chickenpox or insect bites from being outside.
She's seen someone in the last three weeks with shingles?

Where are the spots? It could be cp but you normally get some on trunk. You don’t get cp from shingles.

Yes, you can catch Chickenpox from someone with shingles.

Doesn't look like cp at all to me op.

Yes it is cp. my daughter just had it. The spots come out over several days. Looks very similar.

You can't possibly say that with certainty. For goodness sake 🙄

If it’s chicken pox they will turn into fluid filled little blisters. Seems quite area, seems more likely the skin has been irritated by something

I don’t think that’s chicken pox- there is another thread on here with a picture that does look like chicken pox if you need to compare.

Have you done the glass test, I am thinking you would have.

Maybe see the GP Monday.

I don't think it's chicken pox. All of mine have had chicken pox and I knew it was that from the blisters on top. These don't seem to have blisters.

It looks like it to me we are currently 4th child / grandchild in with chicken pox and two started like this but as previously posted the next few days will tell you if it turns to blisters x

Hi all, thought I'd update! This wasn't chicken pox, turned out to be a fungal type rash - can only assume from when it was warm and we were outside. She's since had chicken pox so can absolutely say this wasn't it! For info, her pox started on her nappy line.
Thanks for all your advice x
