Is this chicken pox

DS2's torso is really covered in small red spots a few of which have tiny white heads. He also has these spots on his arms, face, bottom and under his chin. It looks different from heat rash or a dry skin irritation. However, he is very well in himself and is not
itching. I've tried googling chicken pox but am still not sure. Any thoughts?

chicken pox are biggish spots, with a fluid filled blister on

so, i would say no, it doesn't sound quite right... can you upload a picture at all?

Thanks for these comments. Sadly I can't do a decent photo as I've only got a rubbish camera phone. His spots look less angry than thisusyesterday's link but still very obvious. I guess I'll just see how he feels when he wakes up. If it was something to worry about I'd expect him to feel ill/ run a temp.
