Chicken pox typically starts on a child's trunk and then spreads to the rest of their body, including their arms, legs, and head.
Other symptoms of chicken pox typically include a prodrome of fever, malaise, headache, lack of appetite, and mild abdominal pain for 1 to 2 days.
It is very itchy and very contagious, but can be prevented with a chickenpox vaccine.
Keep in mind that the current immunization schedule advises that kids get a chicken pox booster shot beginning when they are four years old, which should help to further decrease chickenpox infections.
