Child Has Small Blister on Her Chin
Hello everyone, I have 3 year old who has 3 red small blisters on her chin. They don't seem to bother her. She has been going through this spitting stages so I hoping it's just from her salvia. They been around for about 3 day now and seem to be drying up. Has anyone seen something like this on there toddler. I thought it was cold sores but there no where near her month. Anyway advice would be appreciated.

Hi A., It sounds like it might be a mild case of infantiego, I probably spelled that wrong, infanttigo is very contagious, so don;t let her touch it, and until you know for sure I would not have her around other kids. Her doctor could tell you what it is. J.

Great responses here.
Also, things like this, if is looks like a pimple or like a boil...it could be MRSA. It's contagious and potentially infectious... and can spread.
Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to pop it, abrade it, or touch it...
Best to go to the Doctor ASAP, to get your child diagnosed properly.
All the best,
Susan

Have you looked into staph infection?

Could be hand, foot and mouth. It is usually accompanied by red blisters on the extremities and lots of saliva. It's a catchy virus, you should get her checked out by a doctor. Usually comes along with a terrible sore throat.

Next time you have blood workup done for her have them test for viral titers, specifically herpes. If this turns out to be the problem then you need to look at you and your husband. If you two don't have the herpes virus then it probably came from vaccinations.
It could also be yeast. Are her spits really sticky like?
