What are these pus bubbles on my hands?
I started developing pus bubbles on my hands (the palm, sides of the fingers) and they are getting painful and inflamed. In addition, I have also started developing pus bubbles on other areas of my body, although those are not as intense. I was wondering what this could be? It started with 1, and now there’s like 20+. I went to a clinic and she said she thought it was chicken pox, but I have been vaccinated before, and it does not look like chicken pox. Thank you!

You can still get chicken pox even after a vaccination- it's not common, but it does happen. How long have you had this happening?

It has happened for about a week now. They started as pus bubbles on my hands, but now it seems like everytime I scratch somewhere on my body, pus like scabs form there.
How are you doing now? Are you still seeing it happen? If so, I'd get in for a second opinion- but I do hope you are doing better!
