I have never had them and my child has been vacinated, but could she still get them. She woke up with a bit of a raspy voice and little sore throat and later in the day noticed 6-7 smaller than a penny, but bigger than a pencil eraser. bright pink, mostly on the side of her back above her bottom and one on her leg. Don't see blisters, but could be small white areas on top...help!!!! She is seven.
Since I discovered them in late afternoon, I just put come cotizone cream on them and thought if there are more in the a.m. we are off to the doctors. There were no more and the ones she had were very diminished. She has sensitive skin and I'm thinking maybe bug biites after a full day tailgating with Dad at the Stanford Football game over the weekend. The girls get filthy and who knows what they get into. ( ; Thanks for all the repsonses, you ladies are great! I think I should go get the vaccination. For some reason I think when I tried to get it, it was a hassle so never followed through.
A lot like a pimple, only instead the it being filled with white pus, it's filled with clear liquid. So it looks like a raised, red bump, with a liquid filled blister.
They tend to look like little water blisters.
She could also be having an allergic reaction to something. Are they hives?
You can google for pictures of both.
Both of my boys were vaccinated with the Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine. They both still got the chicken pox. The illness was MUCH milder than the full blown pox that I got when I was a child...so to me, the vaccination was worth it. Mine lasted THREE WEEKS...theirs was 7 days total.
Yes she still can get them even if vaccinated. And theoretically, yes it should be a milder case.
My daughter did get chicken pox 2-3 years after the vaccine. And it was a seemingly mild case. But my son also had a mild case and had them before the vaccine.
Lysine could be beneficial. Lysine is an amino acid.
I got this info for you off a search. We have used lysine alot in the past.
Lysine inhibits the proliferation of viruses. Along with vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin A, it helps in eliminating virus infections. Since vitamin C protects this amino acid in the body, lysine with vitamin C has a much stronger anti-virus effect than if either is used separately.
Lysine is considered to be a natural remedy for cold sores, shingles, and genital herpes. It exercises beneficial effects in viral-related diseases, particularly herpes simplex. During episodes of acute herpes, a minimum of 1,500 mg of lysine and at least one gram of vitamin C should be taken daily.
Here's a link I find useful. Pictures of common childhood rashes/bumps, what they are, symptoms, etc http://www.babycenter.com/101_visual-guide-to-childrens-r....

Yes. Even after being vaccinated you can still contract the disease - if it does happen it SHOULD be in less severe outbreak.
MOST chicken pox are the size of a pencil eraser, not a penny. Those sound more like hives than they do blisters. The chicken pox are a blister form.
If she does not have a fever - most people who get the Chicken Pox contract a fever as well. Since your daughter is 7, I would use a flash light and check the back of her throat so see if there are white pustules there.
If they are white muscusy looking bumps - it could be musculoum (sorry my spelling) that is a virus in the body and there really is not a "cure" for the virus - it will just naturally get out of the system.
they look like blisters...here are some pictures...

Could be hives/rash from a food allergy/intolerance. The sore throat and raspy voice will often come along with an allergy. Good luck!
YOU need to be on top of it because while chicken pox is a very common childhood illness, it can be a VERY serious illness for adults.
