1. Chickenpox starts with red spots. They can appear anywhere on the body, usually starting on the abdomen area.
2. The spots fill with fluid. The blisters may burst. They might spread or stay in a small area.
3. The spots scab over. More blisters might appear while others scab over.
You might get other symptoms before or after the spots appear
These include:
• a high temperature above 38C
• aches and pains, and generally feeling unwell
• loss of appetite
Chickenpox is very itchy and can make children feel miserable, even if they do not have many spots. Chickenpox is usually much worse in adults.
It’s possible to get chickenpox more than once, although it’s unusual.
It is important to stay away from nursery, school or work until all the spots have crusted over. This is usually 5 days after the spots first appeared.
• drink plenty of fluid (try ice lollies if your child is not drinking) to avoid dehydration
• take paracetamol (Calpol/Paralink) to help with pain and discomfort
• cut nails short and put socks on your child’s hands at night to stop scratching
• PoxClin CoolMousse gives rapid relief from irritation, itching and sensitivity associated with chickenpox in children. It absorbed rapidly by the skin and provides a direct cooling and soothing effect.
