Need to rule out viral exanthema
Detailed Answer:
I have seen the attached pictures.
I really suspect a viral exanthema in your case. It might not necessarily be chicken pox, especially since you had it once in childhood .
A viral exanthema can be any body rash associated with a viral illness like a sore throat or abdominal infections.
Looking at the skin lesions, I would suggest you to see a general physician soon since ruling out chicken pox infection is very necessary. A direct examination is essential for it. Also it is good to start specific antiviral agents as soon as possible for best results.
For the time being, you can apply calamine lotion twice a day over the affected area.
Take tablet claritin once a day.
Take plenty of fluids.
Take bath daily.
Hope it helps
