chicken pox or bed bugs? I'm 42 and a traveller. Not sure if I have ever had chicken pox.... But I had a fever in one night, real fast, cold chills, 3-4 hours later I had a full sweat out break. Then I slept for 12 hours and awoke to many bumps. clear puss with a red area surrounding. They are itchy and hot. now two days later I have about 20 on my face, 20 on my back and 15 on my front and 5 on each arm. The blister- clear puss will break then it's a harder sore. Can I send you pictures? Thanks Rebecca |

Dear Rebecca You can send us the picture for diagnosis or can visit some skin specialist. Without examining the rash exact diagnosis is not possible to give. The early symptoms are nausea, loss of appetite, aching muscles, and headache. This is followed by the characteristic rash and oral sores, malaise, and a low-grade fever that signal the presence of the disease. Oral manifestations of the disease not uncommonly may precede the external rash. The rash begins as small red dots on the face, scalp, torso and upper arms and legs; progressing over 10 |
