A member asked:

What rash looks like chicken pox?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jay Park answered

See the picture: Chicken pox starts on face, scalp, or trunk as papules (raised bump) and vesicles (small blister). In full-blown case, papules, vesicles and pustules (vesicle containing cloudy fluid) can be seen at the same time.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
