Chicken pox: Rash In chicken pox is with high grade fever . Child may have runny nose and cough too. Chickenpox appears as a very itchy rash that spreads from the torso to the neck, face and limbs. Lasting seven to 10 days, the rash progresses from red bumps to fluid-filled blisters (vesicles) that drain and scab over. Vesicles may also appear in the mouth, on the scalp, around the eyes or on the genitals .

Consider this...: Chickenpox spots are usually distinctive enough to distinguish from other rashes, although they can be confused with other conditions that affect the skin, such as insect bites or scabies. Before the rash appears, your child may have some mild flu-like symptoms. If any doubt, get her checked. Ref. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Chickenpox/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
