Denise:
You can only get chickenpox once. Your kids may be getting a pimply eruption, perhaps blocked pores from hot water. This generally doesn't mean much, and goes away on its own. But it's not a virus over and over again, whatever it is. May be you should ask another doctor what he or she thinks.
Best.
