Chicken pox. Close-up of a chicken pox rash on the leg of a 6-month-old boy. Chickenpox,or varicella,is caused by infection with the varicella zoster virus. It is a common infectious disease of childhood that causes headache and fever,followed by the eruption of a rash over most of the body. The rash appears in crops and consists of clusters of small,red,itchy spots that become fluid-filled blisters within a few hours. Calamine lotion (a zinc-based anti-itching lotion) can be used to soothe the skin until the disease clears up | |
