The average child develops 250 to 500 small, itchy, fluid-filled blisters over red spots on the skin (“dew drops on a rose petal”).
The blisters often appear first on the face, trunk, or scalp and spread from there. Appearance of the small blisters on the scalp, found in 80% of cases, clinches the diagnosis. After a day or two, the blisters become cloudy and then scab. Meanwhile, new crops of blisters spring up in groups. The pox often appear in the mouth," in the vagina", and on the eyelids. Children with skin problems such as eczema may get more than 1,500 pox.
A chickenpox vaccine is part of the routine immunization schedule. It is about 100% effective against moderate or severe illness.
Please see the webpages for more details on Chickenox.

Chickenpox appear anywhere you have skin. So the answer is yes. If you take the child to the Doc there is a medication that shortens the life and the symptoms of the chickenpox. Aveeno bath worked well for my kiddos. Good Luck

Yes. Chicken pox lesions can appear on any part of the body. Meet a doc who would prescribe antiviral medicines which would stop the spread of the disease. Taking this medicine is good as chances or scars and marks after the disease are less.

Yes they can appear anywhere from the top of the head to the bottom of their feet. One of my boys had it everywhere, the poor thing, Calimine type lotions, tepid bathing, and being naked is all you can do till it passes.

If you allow your child to run naked throught the barn yard there is a good chance a chicken could bite them and transmite the disease to the genitialia area. And the best way to get rid of the chickens is to kill them and eat them. Yum, yum--Fried Chicken on the Farm!
