[|Human|] My newborn grandson had a few red spots on his arms today. Earlier I noticed I had 2 spots on the side of my neck now the back of my neck is covered in them. I am 50 years old and had shingles when I was around 30. I just checked and have a few spots near my armpit and on my chest. Could this possibly be chicken pox?
[|AI|]  HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor.  See rashes are very common in newborn as their skin is very sensitive. So not rashes are due to chickenpox.  Classically chickenpox rashes will be red at base with small water filled like lesions. To start with they may be just few but in 1-2 days it occurs all over the body and most of the time it is associated with fever.  So wait for one more day, if there occurs fever or if the rashes increase in number then better you take your grandson to a pediatrician and if none of these happen then no need to worry. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask. Regards.
