Is it chicken pox?

Hello, I have a hospital app on monday to have stitches removed and now think I may have chicken pox so I need to know, cos I dont want to spread infection. I have just got a cat and he has been deflead an isnt scratching and my other half has no spots/rash. I thought they were flea bites but now I have quite a few and im wondering if I have caught chicken pox from a friends child. They are mostly on one arm and some are like blisters, most are in clusters and are glassy. They itch and are not very sore. I rang my docs and they will see me today but I cannot get to them due to just having surgery , I am due back at work on wednesday and im not sure what to do in terms of my app monday. I have had chicken pox 3 times before which I know is unusall but not impossible - I am wondering if because I have had them so many times if they would be less severe each time hence me not being covered all over? When I rang the docs the nurse said it could be shingles but I dont think they hurt enough to be shingles, my brother had them once and he was really ill - im not.

What do you guys think?, I don't want to ring the nurse to come to the house for my stitches removal and waste her time. Thank you.

If it is chicken pox then the contagious stage is already over if you have spots.

It's not chicken pox.

So what could it be?

Could well be bites.
