Camile Seaton, 20, first noticed bumps on her face on July 11 and assumed it was acne.

By July 16, more bumps appeared and she went to the hospital for testing and was confirmed to have the virus.

Now a month later, a few visible bumps remain on her face and her 3-year-old daughter is still living with family to protect her from catching the virus.

So far, at least five pediatric cases have been confirmed in the US, with many others potentially being missed.

The move comes as America's monkeypox outbreak - the largest in the world so far - reaches 9,492 confirmed cases.

Seaton told People the bumps that initially formed on her face in mid-July quickly turned white, telling her that something was wrong, but she wasn't then familiar with monkeypox and its symptoms yet.

The mother-of-one went to a local hospital for testing days later and had her monkeypox case confirmed.

'The lesions on my face were the first to pop up and the bumps stayed on my face for a whole week and a half.

And when my face started healing, bumps started appearing on my body.' .

Scott Gottlieb, former head of the Food and Drug Administration and current board member at pharma-giant Pfizer, told CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday, that controlling the virus will only be possible if more people are tested.

Last week, Walensky said only around 10 percent of America's testing capacity was being used, opening the door for significant expansions in the amount of people that should be tested
