Hi my son had an itchy bright red spot on his hand. We thought it was a bug bite. This was Thursday night. He hasn't acted sick at all even though he gets an obvious temperature with most mild viruses. He showed me two more itchy red spots on his arm last night. Nothing more this morning that I can tell. His hand bump never filled with fluid or anything and doesn't really look like the chicken pox pics I've seen. It seems like an odd presentation if it is chicken pox. Three spots since Thursday. None of them filled with fluid and haven't been especially itchy like I remember it being. People say it usually starts on the torso or face. It seems odd to be on the hand and arms and nowhere else even since Thursday or overnight. If it's not CP then I don't know what it could be. I don't think we have biting bugs indoors. I was reassured when it never seemed to change into a blister and that he's been feeling good. I worry that it's the calm before the storm but the idea of waiting all week for development is stressful. When can we determine if he's in the clear?
Thank you.
