JSYMTHEE

My 9 year old son has chicken pox like red spots all over the trunk of his body but nowhere else. Each of his armpits are one big red blotch. His appetite is normal as is his behavior and energy level. He has no headache or fever or nausea or itching or pain or chills or sensitivity to light. He had a mild case of chicken pox at age 2 when his entire day-care class had chicken pox. The number of red spots exceed 50 spots and appear too prolific to be bug bites especially since the spots are limited to the area under his shirt and underwear. The spots have no crusting. The blotches under his armpits have been there for about two weeks. The spots appeared this week. His pediatrician has seen him but no diagnosis has been made yet other than to quarantine him. The pediatrician has seen two other similar cases in the last week but the doctor thought those cases involved children that had a reaction to a recent chickenpox vacine. Are there other diseases similar to chicken pox with no other symptoms than red spots?
