Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed with chicken pox. However, I am skeptical because not only the red bumps are not nearly as prolific as normally seen in chicken pox patients but they also are not itchy in the slightest. Could this just be an outbreak connected to spring allergies or is it just a mild form of the pox?
Hi. I have gone through your case. Firstly, yes this is a mild form of chickenpox which occurs in those individuals who have very good immunity. But important thing in your history is that you already had chicken pox in your childhood. Once after getting chickenpox, it is extremely extremely rare to have it again in life. It can occur again but it occurs in severly immuno-compromised patient and presentation is very severe. However, you have described some mild diseases. In the end you are not having chicken pox but anything can be said after seeing your picture.
