I think chicken Pox is always doing the rounds...... it seems to affect in different ways, my oldest 2 girls only had a few spots and were fine....the youngest was covered in them, and was really quite poorly, she still has a couple of scars from them now.

As Gwyn says watch out for more spots...

Hope he feeling ok with it all.

Chicken pox usually is definite blisters.
I have had a similar reaction to an insect bite, but chicken pox would likely appear on unexposed skin too.

Watch out for more spots.....
