If they have spread much further since you wrote this then yes- they multiply very quickly in the first 48 hours. If not, it may be a reaction to something she has been in contact with.

Sounds like hand, foot and mouth too. Any spots on her hands, knees or bum? My DS aged 4 and DD aged 2 has it at the moment, started on their feet

dd has the pox at the moment. she started with 4 spots, had 12 the following morning, about 20 that evening, and the next day, was covered from head to foot!
I thought CP usually started on the trunk or on the hairline but i could be wrong.

yeah i thought its usually starts on the torso - CP.

i think she got 2 pimples on her face but unsure. They are mostly on the inside of her foot.

Could be the beginning of the hand, foot and mouth.

As she also lost her appetite in the past 3 weeks and not even finishing off her milk too as atm she is having about 8oz - 10oz per day, but at Tea time (5pm) she is wolfing down her tea! and had been asking for her sleep in the mornings which she dropped her mornings naps since she was 4mths old as only have it in the afternoons.

will check her out tmrw.
thanks
