A few days ago I noticed that DS 6 had a couple of spots on his back. I thought maybe insect bites. Since Friday more new spots have appeared each day, some on his arms, wrists, a couple on his hip, one on his tummy and one on his face.
He has been snotty and had a bit of a cough since Friday but has been eating, drinking and playing normally. He doesn't seem upset or anything.
He had chicken pox as a baby (about 5 months old), a very mild dose caught off his sister.
I called the GP this morning, they didn't want to see DS in person but asked me to send pictures. He said he doesn't think it's chicken pox as DS had it before. He said it could be eczema, but then said "it's probably viral". I got the impression he had no idea tbh. He said if DS feels well in himself fine to send him to school tomorrow. DS has just shouted me from his bed to say he thinks he can feel some new spots in his armpit. I had a look and sure enough there are several new spots that definitely weren't there earlier today.
Anyone have any idea what the hell this could be, and should I really be sending him into school?
