Random Spots In Arms, Legs, Filled With Fluid, Hard To Touch. What Is It?
My son who is nearly 2 has been getting random spots on his arms and legs, usually only 1 or 2 at a time.
They look as though they are filled with fluid but are relatively hard to touch. They dry up after about 5 days then another one seems to appear.
This has been going on for a few weeks.
My friend said they look like chicken pox but he has no other obvious symptoms and I think its been going on too long.
Any ideas ??

generally chicken pox is also associated with fever and coryza and morever rashes of chicken pox are more in number thn 1 or 2.so this cant be chicken pox.its some other thing and without seeing it no comments on diagnosis can be made.there r lots of possibilites.so please get an expert consultation.
