It could be. You can still get CP with the shot, it is just not supposed to be as bad.

Re: chicken pox?

It could be a strep rash, too. I'd take him to the ped, just to check - you wouldn't want to assume it's nothing, and have it be something serious.

Re: chicken pox?

Have you changed soaps/shampoo/laundry soap recently? It could be an allergic rash.

Re: chicken pox?

he has worn some new clothes that we bought on vacation. honestly i am hoping it is a reaction to a soap or something, we will see in the morning when he wakes up

Re: chicken pox?

he is about the same, i finally took him to the dr this afternoon.

turns out his bumps are bed bug bites. from our hotel in California.

Re: chicken pox?

Oh no! I hope that you didn't bring any of them home with you. They can get out of hand very fast and are almost impossible to get rid of. They get into everything.

Re: chicken pox?

when ini doubt take him in....just notify your dr's office that you are not sure if its chicken pox or not so that they can take him in right away. Every office deals with possible chicken pox differently

Re: chicken pox?

i don't know if we brought any home. i'm hoping they are just showing up from our trip, that is what the dr leaned towards.... they are near impossible to get rid of from what i hear

Re: chicken pox?

I have seen bed bug bites on a friend of my older daughter, who lives in the city. I hear the bugs are fairly large so they would be easy to spot if any did, hijack one of your bags homes.
