Brief Answer: Looks more like measles. Can't be sure Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. I have seen the pictures you have attached. I feel the rash looks more like measles at this time, but to be sure I would have to look the whole body up close. You can distinguish between measles and chicken pox. If these rashes go on to develop small blister like boils that rupture and crust, you can be sure that it is chicken pox, if the rash remains as it is and disappears then you can be sure that it is measles. Wait for it to mature and then you can compare with the description I have given, that will make it clear. I hope that answers your query, please feel free to write back if you have any additional questions for me. Wishing your niece a speedy recovery. Kind regards

Please talk to her pediatrician if you intend to limit the duration of illness. Hope this answers your query. Warm regards, P.S: Please accept the answer and rate it if you are satisfied.
