Chickenpox

Is this your child's symptom?

  • A rash all over the body caused by the chickenpox virus.
  • The chickenpox rash starts as small red bumps. The bumps change to blisters or pimples. The bumps change to open sores, and finally they scab over.
  • A doctor has told you that your child has chickenpox.
  • Or your child had close contact with another person who has it (or shingles). The contact should be 10-21 days earlier.
