Caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), chickenpox is very contagious. Chickenpox often starts with a fever, headache, sore throat, or stomach ache. These symptoms may last for a few days, with the fever in the 101�-102�F (38.3�-38.8�C) range. Chickenpox causes a red, itchy skin rash that usually appears first on the abdomen or back and face, and then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body, including the scalp, mouth, arms, legs, and genitals. The rash begins as multiple small red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites, usually less than a quarter of an inch wide. They appear in crops over 2 to 4 days and develop into thin-walled blisters filled with fluid. The blister walls break, leaving open sores, which finally crust over to become dry, brown scabs. The rash is very itchy, and cool baths or calamine lotion may help to manage the itching.
