My daughter has about 12 spots that look like pimples on her arm and they itch. She just woke up with them. Could this be chicken pox?

Chicken pox usually begins on the chest, and don't normally have a white center like a pimple. She may actually have bites of some kind, rather than chicken pox. To get a better idea of what chicken pox look like, go to your Yahoo search bar, click on "images" and then type in "chicken pox". Some of the pictures may be a little graphic, though.

Definately a candidate for chicken pox. They look like red spots and can blister. Scratching will spread the chicken pox. Has your child been exposed within the last two weeks? It takes about two weeks from exposure to break out. However, this could also be poison ivy. Poison ivy surfaces immediately as blisters and is usually in a localized area where the exposure occurred. Blisters on her arm sound more like poison ivy. Looked for a three leaved plant with white berries in and around your neighborhood. Poison ivy toxins can also be spread from a dog or a cat to a person if the toxins are on the animal's coat. For chicken pox, start looking for a low grade fever and for the blisters to appear elsewhere on her body.

maximum youthful ones with chickenpox act ill with obscure symptoms, alongside with a fever, headache, tummy discomfort, or lack of urge for nutrition, for an afternoon or 2 before breaking out in the classic pox rash. those symptoms very last 2 to 4 days after breaking out. the similar old baby develops 250 to 500 small, itchy, fluid-filled blisters over pink spots on the exterior (“dew drops on a rose petal”). The blisters frequently seem first on the face, trunk, or scalp and spread from there. visual attraction of the small blisters on the scalp, found in 80% of situations, clinches the diagnosis. After an afternoon or 2, the blisters change into cloudy and then scab. in the intervening time, new plant life of blisters spring up in communities. The pox frequently seem in the mouth, in the vagina, and on the eyelids. children with pores and skin issues alongside with eczema might want to get more advantageous than a million,500 pox. maximum pox received't go away scars until eventually they alter into contaminated with bacteria from scratching. some children who've had the vaccine will nevertheless improve a fragile case of chickenpox. they in a number of of situations get better a lot faster and in difficulty-free words have some pox (< 30). those frequently do no longer follow the classic descriptions of the sickness. notwithstanding, those basic, put up-vaccine situations are contagious.

Generally pox start on stomache and back however I got them when I was 32 ans it started on my gums then stomache and was then confirm as chicken pox.......if they itch and leak after scartching and are spreading ........probably pox........call doctor ..even if she got the vaccine she can get them to a lesser degree ....another possibility is prickly heat try using sea breeze for sensitive skin on her arm if just a rash! Take care!

Your best bet is to Yahoo! Image search it...but the pictures are sometimes the extreme version of the chicken pox. They can also be bug bites.

Your description is a little vague to tell for sure. Does she have a fever? My son started with a really bad headache and fever. Then the next day he has two or three spots. Then each day he woke up with more and more.

They sort of look like pimples, but they are a little bigger. Mine started on my chest. Since they itch, I would have it checked out.
Oatmeal baths are good for them.
