Ok, I don't get it.

Once they HAVE crusted over (all of them) you are no longer

contagious. Why should they expect any to be crusted over yet???

my itching I have been trying to keep up with the posts. I went to

the doctor today. They are not sure what I have. I have some flat

red dots then some pustules, like chicken pox. What I don't have is

the crusted over ones yet. They said that since I didn't have them,

they didn't think it was chicken pox. They said that with all my

symptoms they felt that it was something viral not an allergic

Didn't these spots just appear like yesterday or the day before? I think you

need to give them just a little bit more time to crust over ... it would be

just too much of a coincidence if it turned out to be something else ... I

had no idea until I read your post that if someone received a live vaccine,

they could be contagious!

Exactly what I was thinking as well. Pox are easy to spot if you have seen them

before. But since you got them from your child's vaccine chances are yours will

be very mild. Then again define mild? My 2yr had the shot when she was 12mths

and before the day was over she started breaking out in pox.

It seems like I read back when the vaccine came out that people who

had never had Ckn Pox or had immune system problems, or person vac'd

or others had to be careful about open cuts.... - basically anyone

who hadn't had Ckn Pox I guess too maybe - could " catch " it from the

live virus... Don't know quite how it works, but apparently now

proven true!!!!

[Guest guest]

Yes they sure can. They get exposed to it thru diaper changes of the child

coughing, sneezing, drooling on you. Remember when polio vaccine was oral? They

were using the live virus with that and they began to see an increase in polio

cases in parents and caregivers. I remember when my oldest(14) was given the

oral polio, he was in cloth diapers. The doctor told me to use disposable

diapers for atleast a week after he received it.

Chicken pox has an incubation period of 2-3 weeks between exposure and symptoms.

If your daughter's vaccination happened outside of that time period before your

rash showed up, then the rash is unlikely to be chicken pox (at least from that

source).

I hope you are feeling better.

I'm as puzzled as you. Here we are day four, I'm covered everywhere. None of

them have crusted over. I'm calling it creeping crud for lack of any definite

I bet you were exposed to someone else's child 7-14dys ago and you just happened

to break out the day after the shot.
