Is this chicken pox

Started yesterday about 15 spots. Do you think this is chicken pox?

I thought chicken pox was bigger spots but then my dd1 had them several years ago so maybe I'm wrong? Are they fluid filled and itchy?

If they came up yesterday I'd expect them to be more fluid filled by now. DD1 didn't have many spots and they started off looking like that one evening, but by morning they were obviously fluid filled chickenpox spots.

Normally starts on torso, I think. And spots a bit more angry.

And you will only be in doubt for a short while, because they very quickly multiply!

If it's on their legs, more likely to be bites.

That is not chicken pox. More like bites.

Could be. If it is, will be worse tomorrow

My daughter has very similar and about 40 of them. They came up yesterday but haven’t spread since, just been to the doctor and they said doesn’t look like it but sometimes they can start this way and stay like it a day or 2 before spreading
