What Causes Back, Stomach, Chest, Armpit, Groin And Neck Spots?
Hi there My 7 year old son woke up last night with red spots on his back (mostly), stomach, chest, under rigtht arm and neck. There are also a couple above the groin. There were more appearing yesterday afternoon, but it doesn t look like more today. The school thinks it is chicken pox, however they don t appear to be itchy and are not containing fluid... any ideas?
