Often they have a fever. I have found the spots usually start on the torso - they look like little fluid filled blisters, sort of pimply. Google chicken pox pictures and you'll get some idea - warning, most children don't end up totally covered and as bad as some of these pics are.
Unfortunately with cp, it is contageous before the spots come out - so no one has any idea they are spreading it!
Both my kids got it DD1 got it when she was 2 1/2 and DD2 got it off her when she was 6 months old. DD1 got it every bad even though she had the immunisation. DD2 wasnt so bad even though she never had the immunisation. The first signs for us were flu like symptoms and whinginess and temp then a day later first spots appeared, DD1 got first spots in the nappy area then on her leg then shoulder. DD2 got spots first on her leg and torso. Hope this helps.
