Chicken pox or just mosquito bites..?!
Question: Chicken pox or just mosquito bites...?
I'm 15 and I've never had chicken pox before.
I woke up yesterday and found I had 2 small lumps just above the right side of my ..butt.
I thought they were just mosquito bites and left it.
This morning I found 2 lumps on the bottom of the right thigh.
And now I noticed theres a few lumps on my back..
My face and chest is still clean though, and so are my arms..
Except for a lump on the back of my right shoulder.
What should I do about this.?
I don't really see how a mosquito could bite me 8 times without me noticing.. I've been staying home these last 2 days for study.
Haven't gone out once and I don't think anyone else in the house has anything like this.
Even my brother who sleeps on the top bunk..

Answers:
They itchy at all.? Are they lumps or look more like small pimples.? If it's pimply, well it could just be pimples, but that's what chickenpox look like. If it's just a lump that's maybe a bit red, then it's something else like a bug bite or perhaps an allergy to something.
I'm more inclined to say bug bites, but you'll know for sure by tomorrow. They should be all over you by then if it's chicken pox.Health Question & Answer

It sounds like the chicken pox. It is usually about a week to 10 days that you would have to stay in your home. And then you would have to check with your doctor before going out into the public again.Health Question & Answer

Symptoms of Chickenpox
Chickenpox causes a red, itchy rash on the skin 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, nose, ears, and genitals.
The rash begins as multiple small, red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites. They develop into thin-walled blisters filled with clear fluid, which becomes cloudy. The blister wall breaks, leaving open sores, which finally crust over to become dry, brown scabs.
Chickenpox blisters are usually less than a quarter of an inch wide, have a reddish base, and appear in bouts over 2 to 4 days.
