Don't scrat them, use calamine lotion or epson salt baths to help w/ itching, try pressing down on them instead of scratching to help settle the scrating urge, take tylenol for fever, rest and they should be gone in 7 days or so.

I'm a physician assistant and have an answer for you.\nShingles is a virus that is also a part of the chicken pox virus. When you are young you get chicken pox, when you are old you get shingles from the same virus. Unfortunately, your doctor is right, it can't be cured. It comes about in times of stress and is pretty painful. There is a medication called Acyclovir that can prevent the outbreaks before they get bad. Usually you begin taking the mediation when you feel an episode come on (tingling sensation or mild pain where the outbreak is going to occur) and it prevents the outbreak from progressing to a painful situation. If i were you, i would ask your doctor or Physician Assistant about Acyclovir. We prescribe it frequently for people with exactly the same problem. hope that helped!

A person infected with chickenpox can spread the virus before developing any symptoms. Chickenpox is most contagious from 2 to 3 days before the rash develops until all the blisters have crusted over.

I'd call a doctor, they might not want to physically in their office due to chicken pox being extremely contagious.  It is possible to have it more than once.  I've had it twice now and am still not immune.  Make sure you are not around anyone that is pregnant until you know for sure because it can cause birth defects in the baby.

I'd bet money that its got some sort of infection. I really don't think you need to go to the dr, at least not right away.\n\ni'd take a cotton ball soaked in alcohol and clean it out once a day. Then make sure you keep it dry, try adding powder. And keep your clothes off it. Don't wear anything that clings or irritates the area. And if you can let it air out.\n\nIf it persists for more then about a week, or gets really red and or swollen, i'd go to the dr.

You should have gone to the Doctor a long time ago.\nI suggest you go immediately or to a Hospital ER.

Could be chicken pox's but I've never heard of anything that comes and goes. Measles, mumps, German measles...it could be a number of things. Your best bet would be to call her pediatrician in the morning and set up an appointment ASAP. It could be serious.

Generally speaking, once you have had chicken pox you will not get it again...however, if the exposure/case of chicken pox you had was minimal, there is a chance you may get it again.(chicken pox that is.)  Now, chicken pox is caused by Vericella (not the correct spelling)which is a virus I think...this can come back years later and cause Shingles which is a very painful condition that effects your nerves.\n\nEither way, if you suspect this, you need to see a doctor...the older you get past childhood, Chicken pox can be very serious and cause a type of pneumonia that can lead to death...get it checked out!
