Hello,

Chicken pox should look like a 'dew drop on a rose petal'. This means a round little fluid filled blister on a slightly pink patch of skin. Anytime you increase body temperature - by warm baths, overdressing, activity that leads to sweating - a pink rash will look worse. Also, if she has had her Varicella immunization she should either be protected or get a less severe chicken pox rash that may not develop the blister, but just be red spots.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
