symptoms
rash appears
blisters own form scabs
The chickenpox lesions (blisters) start as a two to four millimeter red papule which develops an irregular outline (a rose petal). A thin-walled, clear vesicle (dew drop) develops over the area of reddishness. This "dew drop on a rose petal" lesion is very all your own for chickenpox. After about eight to 12 hours the fluid contained by the vesicle gets cloudy and the vesicle breaks disappearing a crust. The crust usually falls off after seven days sometimes departing a crater-like scar. Although one lesion go through this complete cycle in almost seven days, another hallmark of chickenpox is the fact that investigational lesions crop up every time for several days. Therefore, it may take nearly a week until new lesion stop appearing and existing lesions crust over.
