Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, it can't be chicken pox. It can be shingles. Chickenpox never recurs in a week period. I think it is some different thing that is causing itching. Shingles occurs with blister and burning pain as it is absent in your case it is not shingling also. You can take the visit to the dermatologist as skin disease can't be diagnosed by description only. You can take the cetirizine for itching and paracetamol for fever. Please take the above medication under your doctors' guidance. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
