    Any kamillosan? Failing that, if they do get itchy, bathing them with a mild solution of bicarb in warm water should ease them - very OS!

    I guess it would...or some vinegar maybe?
    but if they are not itchy I would maybe just leave them

    It's infectious for the 2 weeks BEFORE the spots come out & until they're scabbed over.
    The only time she's been around her was after her scabs had dried up... the last visit before then was over a month ago.. I think.

    Wouldn't the clustering - i.e. localised suggest something localised like a bitey thing - no idea if chicken pox starts with a cluster :confused: but I remember chicken pox spots get a like watery head... *shudder* :eek:
