Answer 1

definitely take her to the doctor chicken pox can come out a a few or 1 or lots. Doctor immediately

Answer 2

Have her checked by the doctor - it sounds like it could be MRSA staph infection, which is very contagious and will need extra strong meds as most antibiotics don't work.

My kids both had this a few weeks ago!

Answer 9

it depends on where it is. If it's on her face and its a small compact area it could be a cold sore. If its spread out on her legs or arms or even face sometimes it could be something like eczema. Possibly psoriasis which i know nothing about but if its eczema the best way to make it go away is exposing it to sunlight and putting a moisture rich lotion on it as much as possible. Make sure if she is in the sun not to get carried away bc she is only four years old and you dont want her to get sunburned. If its a cold sore take her to the doc and he can prescribe a med. she also could simply have an allergic reaction. i would suggest childrens benedryl.

Answer 10

it could be chicken pox like you have thought, but you also might want to consider poison ivy. my daughter woke up one morning covered in a rash on her stomach, sides, hands, and legs, and on her face, we all thought it was chicken pox but i took her to the doctor to be safe and he said that it was poison ivy, she had found a rope on the hill in front of our house and played with it with her bike and toys and had got the poison while getting the rope, she is severly allergic to it and it affects people in so many different ways from mild to sever. i would get her to a doctor and try an oatmeal bath in the mean time to ease pain and itching it will work for poison or chicken pox

Answer 11

Warts!....Those dam,n warts, theyre attacking everybody.

Answer 12

They might actually be itchy and she can't explain the feeling.  Sounds like it could be the start of chicken pox.  I would take her into her doctor to be sure.
