My 8 year old daughter woke up one morning and had little red dots on her face and the eyeslids.Why?

Answer 1

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox. That may indeed be the case. In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away. Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.

It also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat." (The latin term is miliaria rubra.) You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat. In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped. Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.

If prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order. Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next. He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.

I hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness. In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.

Answer 2

she could have got chicken pox .The chicken pox rash begins on the trunk and spreads to the face and extremities. The chicken pox lesion starts as a 2-4 mm red papule which develops an irregular outline (rose petal). A thin-walled, clear vesicle (dew drop) develops on top of the area of redness. This "dew drop on a rose petal" lesion is very characteristic for chicken pox. After about 8-12 hours the fluid in the vesicle gets cloudy and the vesicle breaks leaving a crust. The fluid is highly contagious, but once the lesion crusts over, it is not considered contagious. The crust usually falls off after 7 days sometimes leaving a crater-like scar. Although one lesion goes through this complete cycle in about 7 days, another hallmark of chicken pox is the fact that new lesions crop up every day for several days. Therefore, it may take about a week until new lesions stop appearing and existing lesions crust over
