How to tell if rash is chickenpox?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Google : The appearance of chicken pox is different at different points in the illness. I would suggest using Google to get pictures of chicken pox and compare them to what you see. Since most young people are vaccinated against the chicken pox, it is not commonly seen anymore.
