Hi Doc .. Im recurring from a case of chicken pox. Its been two weeks exactly. I ve gone to the doc and he gave me meds. I thought i was all clear until yesterday and today when i noticed something that looked like a pox but it could be a pimple also. How can I tell if this is a pimple or a chicken pox? Thanks
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! You need not worry because chicken pox occurs only once in a life. Once you have suffered from chicken pox, immunity develops in your body against the virus and you'll never have chicken pox again. However, remember that the virus causing chicken pox will reside in your body forever in an inactivated stage and may get activated again in future to cause Herpes Zoster infection. Hope I have answered your query.
