i asked about testing to find out what it is and he said that it is a blood test to find out if it is chicken pox or if it was chicken pox the first time and that he didnt recommend it for an 18 month old cause it would be pretty traumatic, have to hold her down and the needle and all.

so now he said we should give her the chickenpox immunisation in case it wasnt pox to begin with.

i read that school sores can come about from scratching and pox becomming infected so i guess it is possible to have the both of them at once... BUT it has been almost 2 weeks since antibiotics finished and she has been clear of any more break outs.

is it normal for school sores to come back so quickly?
