DD had a few blotches on her legs from early yest afternoon. She is now covered with blotches and her face is very red (not especially spotty but block of high colour). I can see one fluid filled spot on chest out of what must be 100's of small red blotches.

She doesn't seem to have lots of individual raised spots (yet?).

Form quite good, appetite not too bad. Just a bit itchy.

Could it take up to 3 days for spots to get 'textbook' appearance, or might it not be c p?

Have spoken to nurse on phone only as trying to keep DD way from people!

thanks in advance for advice or own war stories.

How is she today? My sisters ds never got the fluid filled ones, but the gp said it was still cp. I had never heard of that, and thought they nornamlly came quite quickly....but I guess anything is possible.

thanks sparkle. Looks like may be mild c pox and an allergic reaction to something else!
