ASAP... & if you keep gettin more go to the hospital ASAP... get well soon.. [ SoNuLiCiOuSsS's advice column | Ask SoNuLiCiOuSsS A Question ]
MFS answered Monday October 24 2005, 1:02 am: Yes, it is possible to get it again. Generally this happens if your immune system gets weak. Later in life, chicken pox appears as shingles, which are very painful.
Don't forget there are other things that cause pox/rash, like "5th disease" and the old-school mumps, measels and rubella.
What it really comes down to is this: have you changed detergents recently? New fabric softener? Have you eaten shellfish recently? Any new foods?
But more importantly, if the red thingies persist, see a doctor. Don't mess around with your health - no one on this site really knows what you could have because we're not doctors. If it doesn't clear up, see your doctor. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
