What Is Chicken Pox?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Rash
Perhaps the most characteristic symptom of chicken pox is the rash. The rash will tend to start showing a day or two after the other symptoms have appeared. The rash will be very itchy and will go through 3 main phases. Different spots of the rash will be at different phases at different times.
The first stage of the rash is the pink/red bumps will appear on the patient’s skin. The bumps will then develop into fluid filled blisters and the fluid will leak out from them. In time, the blisters will develop a crust and begin to scab over. Once this stage is over, the scabs will heal and the disease will be gone.
