Is this chickenpox?

Hello, in the past, my daughter had these spots or rash mainly on her legs and a few spots on her arm and around her nose and mouth.. we never got a confirmation if this was chickenpox or not as she's gotten over it very quickly. Now, we are about to go on holiday and there's chickenpox in the nursery and I am worried she might get it if this wasn't it! So my question really is, do you think we've had chickenpox based on these photos please? 🙏

That looks more like hand foot and mouth. Chicken pox even if mild case you would get some on the torso.

Chicken pox not usually localised (or if it is, it is mainly on the torso) and main sign is a blister or pustule on top of the spots (which I can’t see in your pics?). I’d say it was a bad case of hand foot and mouth since it’s mainly in areas that are more moist.
