    I was wondering if any of you ever had chicken pox because about a week ago, I found this red painless slightly raised bump on my leg. It was really small, like little over a milimeter. Then a couple days later I found another one. Even more recently, I woke up and found three more near my pelvis. Then later during the day my throat started hurting ever so slightly, I know throat pain and red rashes are a sign of chicken pox. I've had my vaccine for chicken pox but I was wondering if this could be a very mild version of it. What do you think?

    honestly without pics it is hard to know.... i had chicken pox as a babby but my friend got them in high school and the symptoms would probably be far, far more intense because damn she was miserable. doctors are good if you can manage one lol

    I've had chickenpox when I was in elementary and thanks to an old wive's tale, I was pretty much covered with leeks and it has been rubbed all over my body and idk if it worked or not but it sure eliminated the itchiness.

    I am no licensed physician but the symptoms you mentioned are kinda similar to when I got the chickenpox. Have you considered having a check-up?

    When my mom used to work as a health aide at a school, she would see kids all the time that had chicken pox even though they had been vaccinated. The good news is that people that are vaccinated usually have milder cases of it. I would still suggest getting checked out by a doctor, since it is something that it contagious.

    I had chickenpox as a kid. The spots all started about the same time. Oatmeal baths worked wonders to relieve the itching. I think the bumps you found are probably something else. Wouldn't be surprised to learn they were just acne.

    I had chicken pox when I was young, had a pretty nasty case of it. I actually was one of the kids that spent a few nights in the hospital in quarantine. I don't remember much of it.

    There was no vaccine for it when I was a kid. I think it was 1993 when I got it.

    Yea, lol I just realized that they are probably flea bites since we have a dog and two cats that have fleas.

    Naw. That is the oddest rumor that I've heard all day. It is incorrect btw.
