Chicken Pox!!!

Arggg will it never end?
We believe Iris has chicken pox! We haven't seen a doctor or anything but it sure looks like it.

This morning i thought Iris had caught Daisy's Molluscum Contagiosum as she had around 15 little spots with what looked like heads coming, but when i've taken her clothes off tonight for a bath she has over 30 with heads/blisters!

Daisy's molluscum never escalated like that, and they were in clusters on her torso or you could see how it had spread to another part of her body from scratching and it spreading. Iris's spots are all over her torso front and back, a couple on her neck, face, in her hair and she doesn't scratch them so i don't think it's molluscum.

Also the molluscum's have a dip in the centre which holds the core (it is this core touching other skin that spreads it) These spots don't seem to have the dip in the centre so i'm pretty sure it must be Chicken Pox.

Poor Iris honestly if it's not one thing it's another.

They say that the second child usually catches everything, well this second child is living up to that one.

Both photos were taken today, the first at 9.40am, the second at 6.20pm.
