How can i know if i have chicken pox?

Be Seen: Best answer is to let a doctor see the rash.Classic varicella looks like a dew drop upon a red base.They scab over as they heal. And usually there are different stages of rash on the body from red spots to fluid filled lesions to scabs.Usually very itchy.

Exam or blood test: Most older mds can diagnose chicken pox from the characteristic rash. There should be some blisters; it should start on the trunk and head, not the arms or legs. A blood test or culture of a blister can confirm it, but is not usually needed.

Blood test best : See your doctor. Chickenpox lesions have a particular appearance. The history of your illness is important too. He will decide what the course of treatment is. There are vaccines and meds available for adults with chickenpox or to prevent this disease. A blood test can help to determine if you have immunity to chickenpox or if this is a new case. Get checked. Hope this is helpful.

Pox: You get pox, which are 2-3mm blisters with a clear liquid in them. The skin under them is pink or red. They spread rapidly during the first 24 hours and scab over within 7 days. Sometimes there is fever, sore throat and the blisters itch.
