It's not chicken pox, so what is it?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

So about a week ago we thought some bug had attacked my daughters arm, then the next day her whole arm was speckled and we started thinking chicken pox. My 2 yr old also had spots on her arms. No sooner had we convinced ourselves it was chicken pox than I noticed some strange spots on myself. I am 33 and had the CP about 10 years ago (fun stuff that). Trying to be quick here, I have probably less than 15 spots total, my daughters have innumerable spots. My other two children have very few spots that they broke out with in the last few days. No fever, no sick feeling of any kind, just these itchy spots. We are currently living in a house with 15 other family members, and no one else (so far) is getting any spots.

 

These spots haven't erupted like CP, they are just kind of turning into these hard little bumps as they heal. Some spots itch a lot, some not at all. They also seem to be in patches SOMETIMES. Like a group of 10 here and there.

 

Thank you for any thoughts!

Bed bugs?

Well, I don't think it's bugs because there are so many other people in the house and the kids don't always sleep in the same beds. Plus I've never seen bug bites look like this a week later. Oh well. At least no one is sick.  thanks!
