I have a rash that is spreading quickly about 3 days started on my mid sections and is now on my legs, neck, and arms. the marks are red and dry. Per photos I have seen it looks like chicken pox, but I had that when I was a teenager. I did go to my pcp today and he had no answer.

Hi,
Tzanck smear can tell about chickenpox or Elisa test ,there are other viral infections are also possible which look like chickenpox, few blood tests are helpful CBC, platelets, ESR. Check with local physician for treatment, immunity should be strong for that. Take fresh fruits, juices, steamed vegetables, amla, aloe vera, basil, antioxidants, multivitamin etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
