Hi, Are the lesions itchy? How are they to appear-fluid filled, bumps or just discoloration? Anyone else affected in family? If there is no fever or other symptoms like cold/cough, this is unlikely to be chicken pox or measles. Also, in both these conditions, lesion starts in head and neck area and the descends. If no fever or cold symptoms, and the lesions are not itchy, we need not worry-just apply some emollients and wait for 5 days. If itchy, give antihistamines like HY Chat Doctor.  If not getting down by 5 days, the lesions are fluid filled or associated with other symptoms, kindly take her to doctor. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
