What causes red spots with white head all over body?
Patient: I was informed last week that mt daughter may get chicken pox as my friends little boy has got them A few days ago my daughter has about 10-15 red spots that looked like they had whiteheads on them so i pur camamoil lotion on her an the next day they had gone could it be a mild form of chicken pox? Doctor: Hi.... I  do not think that this is chickenpox. This could be any other simple viral exanthematous illness. If she had fever before this Rash we can be almost certain that it is a viral illness. But if it is subsiding by application of topical lotion then it could also be a simple allergy or Eczema. From next time I suggest that you upload the images on this website so that we will be in a better position to guide you. I am telling this because skin conditions are best diagnosed by directly seeing them.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
