DS2 is 4 and has about 8-10 red raised bumps on his body, any ideas?

He has already had chicken pox. The bumps are a little bit itchy and about the size of a 5p piece. He has 4 near his neck, 4 on his torso, and one in his groin. They don't look like hives.

No fever and he is eating Ok.

Anyone else's child had this?

Insect bites?

And it is possible to get chicken pox more than once.

He has 2 more today on his thigh. They do look a bit like insect bites but we don't have any pets and he was wearing trousers today. DS1 is fine. This is weird!

? ringworm
have you googgled? i found a good site recently ... couldnt tell you what it was though

Ringworm looks like rings, doesn't it?

Does anyone else in the family have similar bumps?

Any chance they're bedbug bites?

scabies?

canadianmum · 21/05/2007 19:37

I guess they could be bedbugs but his bed is very clean. I have now washed all of his cuddly toys, duvet, pillow and bedding AGAIN.

We do have a very clean house .

It doesn't look like ringworm or scabies.

He has a couple more on his arm today, not sure whether to see GP or not as he is perfectly well otherwise.
