The answer used to be no. Doctors now say that if you had a mild case the first time around, that you could get them again. There is now a vaccine for chicken pox, but you may be too old to have received it. Health Question & Answer

Adult chicken pox is called Herpes Zoster & can cause itching, & pain...it is treated with Valtrex if caught early & I was told to put Gentamycin (topical antibiotic on the blistered blotches.

I had a mild case I think because I take lots of supplements. Your step grandma can try Zinc 50 mg & Nucleotides.
