Brief Answer:
Probably chicken pox!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these bumps that your child has. I have taken a look at the picture and they are suggestive of chicken pox. Unless he has an elevated fever, there is no need rushing to the ER at this point. Patiently wait for the doctor's appointment tomorrow.
For now, use an antiseptic agent like betadine for baths. Benadryl would help with the itches and this would be enough to help him feel more comfortable until he sees his doctor tomorrow.
I wish him well. I wish you well also. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications. Thanks for using our services and hope you truly find this helpful.
