Well finally after lots of trying to get BB infected with the dreaded chickenpox by dragging him to play with anyone we heard was infected) he's gone and managed to catch it of his own accord... Well done him! And we don't have a clue where either....
In retrospect it started with a pluke on his bum, which I'd clocked but thought nothing of, but it actually only got picked up when BFS mentioned a 'skin tag' which had appeared on his neck on Sunday morning. He pointed it out to me at bedtime, which is when I noticed all the other spots! I went and grabbed a bottle of piriton and poured some down his throat. He did wonder why he was getting 'medcine' but I told him it was for his cough ( which he didn't actually have- but totally bought the story!) it appears to have done the trick and I had a spaced out almost scratch free boy for a couple of days....he has gotten itchier, but nothing that he's complained excessively about - which is pretty impressive considering he has spots on his lower eyelids, on his bollocks and even in the crack of his bum. It even made me cringe! I have been keeping him distracted with some gardening and trips to the park, but the rain came this afternoon and is due to stay for a few days- that combined with the fact that LL definitely had a few suspect spots on his torso today makes me think I may be in for a rough few days.....
