Chicken pox? I have no idea

[HappyGoldBalonz]

Hey everyone,
just looking for some advice, my little boy came up in these started with 1 then slowly more keep appearing.
on his elbow, arms, legs, one on upper back.
He had very mild chicken pox at 1 years old and was only in certain areas? So I know he is able to get them again!

is this chicken pox? I have no idea and the GP hasn’t answered my online request.
nursery manager says looks like chicken pox and couple friends said it does but I’m not sure.

Just bumping for you OP, in hopes of some good advice/support coming along soon.

Thank you so much ❤️

It does look poxy, has he been a bit run down in the days before the spots came up?

It can really hard to tell until they fill up and look like blisters. Sorry not much help!

If the chickenpox was only certain areas last time, it may well have been hand foot and mouth disease (different virus and you can catch HFM over and over again).

He has been run down with cold and cough for a week or two and his behaviour has been down the pan!

I did wonder about HF&M as he has that a couple of weeks ago they were all in his mouth too however the spots were smaller these are bigger and none in mouth 😩 I just have no idea

Looks like chicken pox to me

That’s what I was thinking! People keep saying but he doesn’t have any on his belly, but he didn’t really have any on there when he got them as a baby! One leg seems to be worse than the others so it’s confusing me.

this was this morning in photos

Looks like chicken pox to me. If he is suffering with itchiness try bathing him in a bath with a good handful of Bicarbonate of soda.

OP are those his privates in the 4th photo? If so please have it removed. @MNHQ
