Hi,

My little one has been snotty for the past few days with a cough. Yesterday we noticed two spots and wondered if they were chicken pox as it’s going round at the moment. This is her this evening - do these look like pox spots? First time mom here and no idea!!

Might be, though I've had lots of little bites recently and mine definitely aren't CP. They look a bit small to be CP. They tend to start on the torso then spread out, though not always. See if she has more in the morning - if it is, they will come out over the next 24-48 hours.

My baby has similar but loads of them since Thursday. Have any more developed?
