Roseola twice?

So poor DS apparently has roseola for the second time, which I didn't think was possible.  Do any of you have experience with this?  I have googled it but didn't find anything definitive.

Why couldn't you have it twice?  Sweetness just got over it and it wasn't pretty.  The poor thing was miserable.  Here are some sites with info:

Here it says that it might happen twice but it's not common: https://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/roseola.html

Thanks for the info.  I guess I misunderstood my doctor's explanation about it.  I thought you were immune to it once you had it - like chicken pox.  I hope we don't ever see time #3!

I am pretty sure I read that they cannot get it twice too. I would call the doctor and ask.
