I can't actually see any spots on those photos!

I can’t see spots either, but it might be that the image isn’t sharp enough? I’m guessing you see spots OP?

I can’t see spots. When my nephew had it recently it was on his back, stomach and bottom and it took a few weeks for him to actually get it (started at nursery with an outbreak).

does she have any other symptoms? we just got chicken pox today and my DD had a spot maybe 2 days ago that was the same as the one on the picture and today it started to develop into very much chicken pox fluidy spots. But my DD also have kind of barking chesty cough and fever that started a few days ago.

yes agree with PP, chicken pox has incubation period 10-21 days, I have counted 10 days from exposure and put it in my calendar 😂 like a clock first spot appeared after about 12 days

I can see the spots, but not well enough to tell. You’ll know tomorrow if they’ve gone obviously fluid filled, and if there are more.
