Chicken Pox again?

[ksl]

I've had Chicken pox three times now, and i've got dry red patches of skin on my neck and down the side of my body which itch but i'm not sure if they're Chicken Pox or something else?

Chickenpox three times??
Is this a medically diagnosed opinion? Are you sure it isn't some sort of dermatitis. Occasionally people with chickenpox will develop cellutitis, which really needs medical treatment.

Sounds like shingles to me.. Take a look at this link http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disord

whatever it is, it AIN'T chicken pox ....

[ksl]

it doesn't sound like either of them, they both sound uncomfortable which this isn't it just itches with no dots or spots, just a dry bit of skin! Both of my flat mates have had it too, so i must have caught it from them.

Scabies? Does your skin crack at all? get it scraped and examined under a microscope.

no it's not cracked, just dry. I've been putting some of my boyfriends eczema cream on it which seems to be helping.
