i had chicken pox 9 times i never had that many either time and i was diagnosed with cancer and i dont know y i only have 5 more months to live
My nephew has also had chicken pox three times! He had it at 3, 6 and 8. The Dr told my sister that there are two forms of Chicken pox but most children only contract one of them. However he has been diagnosed with it 3 seperate times, the last one being this past year, when another child in the same class passed it on to him.
Christine,
Did they go away, now that its been a month?
My son has what your describing, bumps that look like they are water-filled just before they break chickpox. They are on his back, they have spread from 3 to 8 now, but still on his back.
I just want to comment that I'm19 now I had chickenpocks 3 times at age 8 10 and 14! I was diagnosed with it by my same physician all three times
My 3 yr. old had a rash that started on his cheeks and then went down to his chest and then arms. It was diagnosed as Fifth
Disease. Sounds bad but, in reality, it is just a virus. Doc said just another childhood illness. It will run it's course and baby will be fine. I thought it was jsut a heat rash. Glad I decided to take him in. Hope this helps.
Christine:
Your daughter's current rash sounds nodescript, most likely some other virus. I would ignore it and just treat any itch with Benadryl cream or calamine. If it spreads or doesn't go away in a week, show your doctor.
You can't get chickenpox twice, but sometimes the first case was in fact another virus . . .
Best.
Dr. Rockoff
