I am pretty sure it's chicken pox. I thought about taking him to the ped and getting him acyclovir again, but it was pretty bad on him last time, and the CP doesn't appear to be bothering him that much.
But they absolutely look like CP, and AJ just realized that the child she watches during the day had a CP vaccine last Friday, about 4-5 days before Charlie broke out in spots. She's kind of miffed because the mother knows to tell her when they get vaccines, so we can keep Charlie away from them for a few days. Oh well, it's only chicken pox.
So... I'm pretty sure that's what he has. He's had shingles before, so that's probably why the outbreak isn't that bad. Still mostly on his torso, with some on his upper legs and arms. They don't appear to bother him that much (but very little does anymore).
Yay! Chicken pox! It won't give him immunity, but at least he seems to be doing okay. I don't know for certain, but I am about 98% sure.
Anyone want some?
