Brief Answer:
Seems like chicken pox
Detailed Answer:
It still seems like chicken pox.
Yes it's contagious till the time all these blisters dry up and scab falls off.
You need to stay away from your daughter as you are infectious.
In such cases I recommend my patients to take tablet valciclovir 1 gram thrice daily for 7 days and apply calamine lotion on the affected areas twice daily till the time the lesions dry up.
Besides this I recommend them to not scratch or rub the lesions as it can leave marks and scars.
In case of irritation or itching take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice a daily depending on the intensity of itching.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Wish you speedy recovery and feel free to clarify any further doubts.
