Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, yes this could be chicken pox. In chicken pox fluid filled vesicles appear over body in crops, ie, there is a new crop of vesicles every 1 or 2 days. Chicken Pox lesion usually subsides in 10 day period.
I advice you to review back with some good pictures of lesion so that the diagnosis becomes more clear. Take care.
