What is it?

Chickenpox-related skin issues occur during or after a chickenpox infection and are caused by the varicella virus. The condition presents as itchy red spots that progress into fluid-filled blisters and then form scabs. Children may experience widespread rashes along with fever and discomfort. Scratching the blisters can lead to skin infections, scarring, or delayed healing.
