What are the Chickenpox?
Chickenpox is a common viral infection, particularly affecting children. It’s highly contagious but usually clears up naturally within 1 to 2 weeks without the need for a doctor’s visit. However, in certain individuals, it can lead to more serious complications.
Common Symptom for Chickenpox
- High temperature (fever)
- General aches and pains
- Loss of appetite
- Overall feelings of being unwell
The Three Stages of Chickenpox
Chickenpox develops through three distinct stages, though new spots can keep emerging while others progress.
Stage 1: Initial Appearance of Spots
Chickenpox develops through three distinct stages, though new spots can keep emerging while others progress.
- Spots may occur anywhere, including sensitive areas like inside the mouth or around the genitals, causing discomfort.
- They may spread extensively or remain confined to a small area.
- Spot colour can range from red, pink, to darker shades, or even match your natural skin tone, making them harder to spot on brown or black skin.
Stage 2: Spots Turn into Blisters
- Spots become fluid-filled blisters
- Blisters are typically very itchy and can occasionally burst.
Stage 3: Blisters Form Scabs
- Blisters eventually crust over to form scabs.
- Scabs might flake off or occasionally leak fluid.
