Mild chicken pox?

[PinkinPA]

Has anyone ever seen CP that didn't blister? My DS (17 mos) had exposure recently and I'm wondering about his rash. He has very faint pinpoint spots on his belly and some on his face. They have not blistered and he has no fever.

The reason I ask is because I have seen some pics where the spots that were being callled "mild chicken pox" resemble what my son has only my son has fewer spots than my son has.

I'd like to see if anyone has experienced a mild case maybe without blisters?

I really don't remember my son's blistering either. He got them when he was 12 months old, still primarily breastfed, so that might have had something to do with it. However, for several days, I thought he had a "mild" case - a few spots here and there. After about three or four days though, he ERUPTED in spots. Like, easily over three hundred spots on his tiny body. They were all pretty small and they didn't seem to bother him (no trying to scratch, etc). He didn't have a fever and appeared to feel fine.
