What are these spots!?

These spots popped up on DS. The one on the hand Tues night and the one on the face Weds morning. He saw the Doc Weds arvo (due for his jabs) and she said it could be the start of chicken pox and he will get lots more. However he has gotten no more. We saw the training doctor yesterday and she insisted they are flea bites (they are blatently not) and said to take him back Monday if they havent vanished which i will do but wondering if anyone has seen anything like them before!




In the picture the hand one looks like its filled with white stuff - like a pimple () but thats a trick of the light - really its just a slightly red lump.

I'm almost 100% its not a bite of any kind as when they first came up they seemed to be more like a blister (with fluid within) though they are hardening up now.

Whatever it is they don't seem to bother him, he's his usual self.

Does he have any in his mouth. Perhaps its foot & mouth Not sure what they look like sorry just know they are blisters

It looks exactly like what DS had at around the same age - I talked to the nurse at his 3mth jabs because I thought it was the start of chicken pox too but he just got a couple and they disappeared about a week later... DS had no other symptoms at all. He had 2 on his face and one on each arm, I think from memory...
The nurse said something about maybe being foot and mouth but she wasn't concerned and he was fine, just his usual self. If you are really concerned, take him to the Dr. I just kept an eye on DS and seeing as he wasn't exhibiting anything else of concern I never went to the Dr.

They look very similar to Jacob's staph infection, but I don't think they are, if they're not filled with puss. He had nasty puss-filled ones all over, poor kiddo.

I think it's a good idea to take him back if they're not gone over the the weekend, but I'm sure he'll be fine till then.

Foot and Mouth! I thought that was restricted to cows in 90's UK! But no - no other spots, even teeny ones and certainly none in the mouth. Odd!

Mealz, sounds like we have a matching set.

He certainly will be going back to the Doc on Monday was more curious then anything else.

I went and had a poke at him (well, them) and they're not liquid filled like a blister, they are quite solid but not raised lumps like i would expect a bite to be.

Babies, eh...they are dribbly, lumpy mysteries.

The ones DS had went flatter, then darker red, then disappeared.

I know what you mean - these babies love to keep us guessing!!

To me looks like flea/mosquito bites. I find they look a bit funny on babies.. but it's hard to tell without seeing them in person.

Worth knowing that sometimes chicken pox can be just a few spots and people sometimes don't realise they've had it already!

Hmmm I'd pop to the docs jic. My DD has scabies atm which is apparently going round. I thought it was eczema. Doc thought staph infection, eczema (infected) or scabies.

I would vote staph infection if he has broken skin (like eczema etc) that the bugs could get into, otherwise I would doubt it was that. I feel like DD has had similar spots, but cant remember when/how etc (which is why I thought staph, weve had our fair share!)
Make sure you put us out of our misery when you come back from the Drs!!
