CHICKEN POX ??

[llewelyn2405]

Got quite a lot of spots on chest and back. Also random ones around the torso and hips. Don’t think it is lupus. I will try the Docs again. Thank you all for your help

Ask about disseminated shingles because you have a history of shingle. Alyclovir can help also ask about taking low dose aspirin to prevent clotting.

Thank you. I have managed to get the Doctor to call me later today, I will mention that.

How did you get on??

[llewelyn2405]

Hello. So kind of you to ask. The Doctor “thinks” it’s chicken pox. Took pics and sending off to dermatology, the results should be back by Friday afternoon.

He was rather perplexed as to how I had contracted CP as he had not seen any cases in a long while.

I did mention Disseminated Shingles but he didn’t seem to think it was that ?

Will just have to wait and see.

Thank you 😊

Have to saw it's not "obvious" from the picture but then again it's not an impossibility.

Glad you got it checked out.

Can you let me know please. I had these last year. Little groups of blistering spots around torso and on back. I thought it was shingles or chicken pox...doctors said not (were not just on one side)...and couldn’t think what they could be! I hope you find out. I presumed just a weird lupus thing!

Good morning. Of course I will. Hearing what other fellow lupus sufferers have had to say, it’s highly likely it was chicken pox but then again as you said lupus is weird.

I will keep you posted. Have a great day !

Hi I just saw this and it looks like molluscum contagiosum. Hope it is because it’s harmless.

Hi there. Thank you for your help. I received a diagnosis on Friday of eczema.
