Answer 1

We;; if you have chicken pox, then they should be all over your body, not just your tummy... So must likey just a rash?

btw, im in 12th grade and I never got the chicken pox or the vaccine...

Answer 2

The vaccine does not guarantee you will never get the chicken pox, so YES you could actually have them.  I have known many people to get them in-spite of being vaccinated.  Fat lot of good it does huh?

A few bits of info.

~Consider yourself blessed.  Now you never have to wonder if your vaccine will lose its potency later in life as you don't have to worry about it anymore!

~Ask your parents to take a look to determine if that's what it is.

~You are contagious.  Go share with your friends, but stay away from pregnant women!!!

Also, it typically begins on the stomach, back, arm pits and then spreads out from there.  Mine started out looking like medium sized skin colored blisters and then turned red.  My first bumbs started on my right arm.  I know, not typical.  Anyway, it scared me because I that it was a huge wart and tried to pick it off and I still have the scar.

Answer 3

I think chicken pox is blisters.  Very itchy pockets.  I had it when I was very young.  Chicken Pox is contagious, have you shown it to your parents?  You might need to see a doctor about it.

Answer 4

It don't sound like chicken pox they will usually start in the heated areas first under the arm or waist line or below the waist line and the back more than the tummy i doubt that you have them have you been exposed to them? But if you have them then they will not be that bad because it is possible to get them even with the vaccine but that will make them a less ordeal but it sounds like heat or just a rash of some type.

Answer 5

I think there are other things it could be. If you've had the vaccine, it's rare that you would get chicken pox. Also, chicken pox spread ALL over, and are VERY VERY VERY itchy. If it's not spreading, and not itchy, it's probably not itchy.

1. Do you have pets? Is it possible that they have fleas? Fleas will jump from pets onto you, and will bite you, giving you a rash.

2. Have you started using any new beauty products? It's possible that your skin is sensitive to one of them.

3. Have you been in the sun lately? It's possible that you have a sun rash.

4. Have you been wearing restrictive clothing, especially around your stomach? It could be rubbing against your stomach and irritating it.

5. Is it itchy? Have you been outdoors lately? It could be poison oak or poison ivy. Even if your stomach wasn't exposed to it, you could have touched it and then spread it to your stomach.

Try the Symptom Solver that I have listed in Sources. It's really great- asks you questions, lets you pick options, etc., and gives you a list of possibilities at the end. Use it, print out your symptoms and possible conditions, then take it to your doctor. Like I said, go to your family doctor, just to make sure, but I doubt it's chicken pox. :-)
