funny spots - advice please?

[AnnieSG]

...we've just noticed at bathtime that both boys, who are two and six, have a handful of red spots. They've both already had chicken pox, although I know it's a myth that you can't get it twice....(it is, definitely).

They're both fit as fiddles and I don't know whether I'm supposed to keep them home tomorrow and go to the doc, or just wait and see what happens.
Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks very much.

..sorry, should have added that they are scattered, and also quite well defined. They're not like a rash.

bites? have they been out in the garden?

if they're not ill I'd just leave it tbh

flea bites? if you have animals that is..

Thanks for all these, but I don't think it's either of these. We have no pets and I don't think both would have got garden bites.
Does anyone know anything about hand,foot and mouth?

Hand, foot and mouth

It looks like this

Wigwambam, thank you so much. That's really really kind and helpful. And they definitely don't look like this, so I can rule that one out, I think.
Thing is, they're both well but I feel crap today. Might be coincidence. This was my first sodding day back working after six weeks with the children and now I think I'm going to have to keep the buggers homes!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Annie, is it Molloscum? Do they have dry skin/ezcema?

No....but what's molluscum?

No....but what's molluscum?

molluscum aren't red though - more like creamy coloured oversized white heads.

my dd's mollooscum started as just red spots (on back of her knees, fwiw)
