They can so keep an eye on them......A has a pox scar on his bottom, I presume it's because that area is being 'rubbed' by the nappy. If they get really red and/or look inflamed then get him back to the Dr, they'll probably want to put him on antibiotics as a precaution; well they did with A but then he was barely 3 months old at the time. He had about 3 'dodgy' looking spots, but he never had a fever or went off his food or anything.

Luckily they stayed out of his mouth and eyes, but he did have one spot just under his left eye. I reckon he had at least 100 spots by the time they had all popped up.]]> Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:39:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=906584&title=what-are-these#906584 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=906413&title=what-are-these#906413 Author: WestiesGirl

Is it normal for the blisters when they burst to go a darker colour on the inside of the scab? He also has some around his private parts, can they get infected cos of the area??

Thanks Bizzy. I have to say yesterday was the worse so far. He is still grizzly and clingy but not as bad as the last 2 days. The spots are still making their way over his body and there is one on his eyelid now.

Hmm yeah mumtooboys its interesting isnt it. Thats what the ED Dr and GP both said to us

THAT has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard! DS2 got them when he was 11 weeks old, stinking horrible case it has to be said but he wasn't overly bothered by them and not 'ill'.........not a thing wrong with his immune system, in fact he's rarely sick and he certainly wasn't 'undernourished'. LOL Ooh and he got them from DS1 who had like SIX spots, and almost all of them were on his back so just because they get them doesn't mean they are destined to be covered head to foot in spots; he had been exposed to CP on at least four previous occasions though without getting them. My friend's DD3 got them when she was 8ish weeks (from memory) old and she was the chunkiest baby in the world and not 'sickly'. hehehehehe

I hope they don't bother him too much, though with the heat it might make him a bit more uncomfortable. ooh and from first glance I was thinking CP too, even before the Dr 'confirmed' it. ]]> Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:31:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=904051&title=what-are-these#904051 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=903720&title=what-are-these#903720 Author: Bizzy

lukes started like this and spread after 4 days of a few spots on his back, he had them for 3 weeks! all over, very very bad case.
Still has scaring from them, would hate to think what the scaring would be like if he had picked them.! the good thing is he may not touch them, luke didn't touch his. A friend told me to cover them with plasters to discourage picking , i didn't think this was a good idea as they need air to dry up!

Hope they get better and heal up quick ]]> Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:23:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=903718&title=what-are-these#903718 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=903679&title=what-are-these#903679 Author: mummyofprinces

Well it appears to be Chicken Pox. The Dr sent us to the hospital cos apparently babies this young only normally get them if they are under nourished or have poor immune systems.

So after waiting over an hour for the Dr (she was running late) she said to be safe and go to the hospital to check for other things like pneumonia (sp?) eeeeek, minor freak out on my behalf Anyways, the Dr there was happy that he has just managed to pick them up from gawd only knows where and sent us home ... Jackson is his usual self with a bit of grumpy and crankyness thrown in. Just pleased my baby boy is ok

The spots are well and truely on their way now though, they are popping up everywhere.

If it is molluscum, they have a characteristic shape....very rounded with a crater in the middle. nothing to worry about...they go away by themselves eventually.

I think they look more blister-like than a heat/allergy rash. All the eczema rashes I've seen are red and have slightly raised bumps, but not a 'head' to the bump like you can see on your boy.

CP can be mild with just a couple spots - I'd call healthline or go to the doc to get them checked.]]> Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:33:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=902135&title=what-are-these#902135 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=902113&title=what-are-these#902113 Author: kiwisj

My first thought was heat rash as well. If they are chicken pox more will come up over his body in the next few hours but I don't really think they look like CP....

If you are concerned ring the healthline - they are quite good at helping you distinguish these things and they will say if you should take bubs to the doctor as well ;-) I'm no good though because I can't remember the phone number ]]> Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:12:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=902107&title=what-are-these#902107 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31044&PID=902079&title=what-are-these#902079 Author: WestiesGirl

3 spots/rash? We noticed it last night when we were bathing Jackson. Although it wasnt as red or blistery looking. DH first thought it was heat rash as it looked 'prickly' (medical talk perhaps??). Anyways since then its changed to this (see pics)

Its only on his back, and I cant see any sign of it anywhere else. He has had BM, baby rice and a slice of nectarine in the last 24 hours, so dont think its food related.

Could it be chicken pox?? What do you think??
