    Chickenpox

    Chickenpox is common and mostly affects children, but you can get it at any age. It usually gets better by itself after 1 to 2 weeks without needing to see a GP.

    Check if it's chickenpox

    An itchy, spotty rash is the main symptom of chickenpox.

    It can be anywhere on the body.

    Chickenpox happens in 3 stages. But new spots can appear while others are becoming blisters or forming a scab.

    Stage 1: small spots appear

    The spots can:

    • be anywhere on the body, including inside the mouth and around the genitals, which can be painful
    • spread or stay in a small area
    • be red, pink, darker or the same colour as surrounding skin, depending on your skin tone
    • be harder to see on brown and black skin
