Brief Answer:
Allergic rash ,take treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed urticaria at present . The chicken pox infection you had have probably completely healed by now .
Urticaria is basically an allergic skin problem in which there is development of raised itchy weals over the skin .
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine regularly to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
Avoid any other medicines like antibiotics or pain killers or any other health tonics .
Such an allergic response can also be due to your previous infection and is likely to get better soon .

Hope it helps

Brief Answer:
Take treatment,don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Take one tablet of levocetrizine 5 mg at night for atleast five to seven days .
It is nothing dangerous, just an allergic skin condition and will subside soon with treatment.
