Chicken pox?

We're staying home today. DS has 6 red spots on his face and head. The DCPs (Day Care Providers) asked me to have a Dr. look at them yesterday, so we did. He did't really think they are chicken pox, but he couldn't say they aren't, or what else they are. So we didn't go back to day-care after lunch, and DS and I are staying home today to limit exposure (if that's what they are). Hopefully they will either go away today or he will break out more so we'll know for sure.
