Is it REALLY chicken pox?

DS came out in spots on friday evening - had more saturday morning and the GP said looked like chicken pox. I have looked at images on the web and they certainly look just like chicken pox spots but he's only got about 30 of them and is perfectly well in himself!

Obviously I don't want him to be ill but I thought they got spots absolutely everywhere and were really unwell? Even the spots that have blistered and scabbed over don't seem to bother him - hasn't been itching at all

is it possible to just get a "mild case" or is this the lull before the storm??

30 is a reasonable number ! Some kids only get a few , ds had 60 odd but dd much less but soem of hers scarred . You may find another batch appear in a day or so .
