Hello and welcome to HCM,
Chicken pox can occur in adulthood and vaccine for chickenpox can be used even in adults.
Chicken pox can occur even when one has taken vaccination in the past.
Chicken pox is characterized by fever followed by development of fluid filled vesicles all over the body.
The distribution of vesicles is characteristic starting from central portion of body and radiating towards the periphery.
The person is highly infectious when the vesicles develop on the body.
The infectivity ends when the vesicles dry up and develop scab.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and thus management of the condition.
Other vesicle forming diseases have also to be ruled out.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
