Hi! thanks for writing to us and I must tell you that if I were your family physician, I would like to ask you to take rest at home for 15 days now as these are nothing but symptoms and signs of chicken pox only1

Please see your doctor today for a microscopic test of the secreted fluid to confirm the diagnosis.
