Can Poxs After Recovery From Chickenpox Be A Reaction To Dairy Products?
My sons doctors said my son has a mild case of chicken pox. He started out with 14 poxs and they dried up after a week. Now all of a sudden he has about 15 more new ones. He was also having a problem with dairy and we stopped the dairy . Now he is eating dairy lately and not having a problem except these poxs. Im wondering if the poxs could be from a reaction to diary and not chicken pox at all . Is it possible he is getting the poxs from eating dairy.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
One of the signature features of chicken pox is the presence of lesions at different stages so it is not unusual to have old lesions as new ones appear.
In terms of the diary, chicken pox does not occur as reaction to foods only as a result of contact with this virus.
I hope this helps
