Hi, I have had headaches, fatigue, muscle pain the past two days. Now there are red spots on the right side of my back. They are incredibly itchy!! I am 28 and never had chicken pox. My boyfriend was in the presence of a two year old who has chicken pox five days ago. Could it be possible that I have chicken pox now as a result?
HIT hanks for posting your query.  Red spots could be due to chicken pox, but there are other causes also like Chat Doctor.  But your history of your boyfriend was in the presence of a two-year-old who has chicken pox is significant. But in that case your boyfriend also should be having red spots. Kindly inquire that and if he is also having spots then It's highly likely that you both are having Chicken pox. In that case you need to consult a Physician or Infectious Disease Specialist and get treated.  But in case he is not having then it is unlikely for you only to have Chicken pox. Also Spots in chicken Pox doesn't happen only on the back, it happens all over the body. So wait for 2 days, if you develop red spots over your chest and arms then It's likely to be chicken pox. Hope you find this information useful. Any clarification feel free to ask. Regards.
