Viral Infection

[Guest]

Recently, I had red itchy bumps spread all over my stomach, trunk, thighs, feet arms hs. My medical doctor took one look at me told me it chicken pox. I am a 41-year-old female who had never had chicken pox or vaccine. I also take immunological suppressive medicine rheumatoid arthritis My daugter exposed to chicken pox at school brought it home. My question is it took a long time disease to run cse since n bumps grew healed in clusters. Some of rashes as big as a nickel or quarter. Is type of scarring normal chicken pox?

IT sounds like you had a severe case. Some people heal poorly and so large scars can result. I cannot see your skin, so I cannot tell you if it is normal. Please see a dermatologist.
