Rashes or Chicken pox?

Question

Hello everyone! Ask ko lang if nagkaganito na ba yung babies ninyo? Is this chicken pox po ba? Tomorrow pa schedule namin sa pedia ni baby. Wala naman nabago sa diet nya. Nagstart to na akala ko kagat lang ng lamok as in 1 red dot lang then biglang dumami nang ganito. Parang di naman makati kasi di niya kinakamot. Nag start to nung after namin magswimming. First time ni LO sa dagat. #advicepls #1stimemom #pleasehelp

Aww mama, kaya mo yan! So honestly its hard to say if its chickenpox or a heat rash / reaction lang from the saltwater dahil first time pa lang ng LO sa dagat, a few of us tried beach trips and ng first time, some babies got little rashes from the salt or sand. Since di siya kumakamot at walang fever, it sounds mas likely na irritation lang, pero definitely good na scheduled na kayo sa pedia bukas kasi sila lang talaga ang makakasiguro. In the meantime, just keep the area clean and dry, at avoid swimming muna until the pedia checks LO. Youre doing the right thing by getting her checked out!
