Any idea what these spots are ?

DS has had a bad cold over xmas and has had spots around his face. I showed the midwie at my ante natal apt on Thurs and she thought it could be just dry skin but if any more appeared to take him to doc as could be infection. He then gets another one near his eye last night which is inflamed all around it. But looks much better this am.
DD then goes to bed last night and wakes up crying saying her bits are sore and she is covered in the same sort of spots all around her bum and front.
They have both had chicken pox, however given it's New years eve and i am 39 + 2 i don't really fancy trip to doc (if it open)unless it really necessary! Do you think spots related or could it be sort of nappy rash. DD nearly 3 and only in nappies at night.
The spots are like small pin pricks and they seem to scab if they take the top off. TIA

I'm not sure but my ds seems to have the same thing he has has spots like you describe over his stomach and legs and also has had one on the end of his penis which hurts when he does a wee. He says he's itchy and when he scratches they become rough. I'm assuming it's viral he seems quite well now apart from the occasional itchiness. I'm 39+1 today and could do without anymore illness myself especially as I have a home birth planned.

It's strange isn't it? Good luck to you too, perhaps they're allergic to our hormones!

NO mine definately isn't that the spots are too small and more rash like iykwim.

lilyloo · 31/12/2007 11:20

Not sure it's that here either as they really tiny pin prick spots like measles but seem contained to one area ?

thrush?

pic i googled

That had croseed my mind although the spots are more spread out and so you can see each individual one. Can she have got that off ds then on his face and if so is it a visit to doc tommorrow?
