All about Chickenpox
Chickenpox is an illness caused by a virus that creates an itchy red rash of spots. Most children recover in a week or two, and a vaccine helps prevent it.
Once you have had chickenpox, the virus can stay dormant in the body.
The spots turn into small blisters and then crust over. It spreads easily from person to person before the spots appear, so it is common in schools.
Most children recover well at home with rest and plenty of fluids. Try not to scratch the spots, because this can cause scars or infections. Vaccines can help protect against chickenpox, so check with a doctor about being vaccinated.
