A few hours ago I found 3 what looked like mosquito bites on my daughter's face. Upon closer inspection I could see a blister on the top. Now, only a few hours later they all popped during the bath and she just has 3 read spots left.
Can this be the beginning of chicken pox? Can it change stages so fast (from what I read online it seems it usually takes several days for the pox to change.

Spots that look like a mix between chicken pox and warts are mulloscum. I wouldn't delay confirming if with the doctor because mulloscom spreads like wildfire on a person and from person to person.

My experience is that pox usually first appear on the torso, then spread out. Check her stomach. Also, itchy and child usually feels sick.

It def did not look like a wart. It was a spot with a blister on top.

I checked the rest of her body, there's nothing. She's had a runny nose for a few days and complained of a tummy ache before dinner. I dont know how real that was, she ate normally and didnt say anything, besides, she's 3.
In general she's always had very sensitive skin, but I've never seen anything like this before.

Plus I have a 2 month old, I read it's more dangerous for newborns, so I'm getting a little nervous. And why oh why do these things have to happen erev shabbes. (Yes it's thursday night, but I'm off to bed, not feeling too well myself and was planning on doing everything tomorrow)
