Chickenpox?

DD 10mo has had what seemed to be a heat rash on her back/shoulders this week with the hot weather, but now has a more spotty type rash all over. Seemed to develop yesterday evening but then faded and it’s back looking worse this morning especially on legs and trunk.

It seems to disappear when a glass is placed over, and some spots seem slightly raised but no puss.

Is this how chickenpox first presents or could it be a post viral rash - not that she has been obviously ill in the past week, just a little clingy.

Pharmacy opens at 10am so was potentially going to take her there with it being a Sunday

Theres usually a blister spot if it’s chicken pox.
