Is this Chickenpox or not?

dd -23 mths has reddish spots, about 5mm across on chest and back mainly, since this mornig. i have seen a few blisters appearing, and all spots have a 'raised bit' in the middle when i run my finger across them although i can't see an actual blister on all of them. They're very spaced out and definitely not anything more serious than the pox. I would say she currently has about 7 on her front and 5 on her back although i think i can see more little ones on the way. she's alos a bti under the weather in general.

Cremola - poor you! hope you feel better soon. I am trying to convince her to have a nap at the moment as she is obviously tired, but she resists. The thing is, when i had the pox myself (aged about 8) i remember these big bubble type blisters, whereas hers seem smaller and flatter iyswim. Could this be due to her being so young i wonder?
