Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
It is unlikely that the rash is chicken Pox because as you rightly pointed it out there are no fluid filled lesions since the rash appeared. Chicken pox classically presents as fluid filled lesions distributed mainly over the trunk and face and extending on to the extremities. The lesions are initially red but usually turn into blisters within 24 hours. Scalp and oral mucosa may also be involved. These is usually no itching in chicken pox except when the lesions have dried up to form scabs. I will suggest that you visit a specialist in your region. Your specialist will be able to have a look at it and advice accordingly.
