Feedback:
The first eruptions seen in chickenpox are red, elevated skin areas called papules. They develop into vesicles, which are blister-like elevations filled with serous fluid, to pustules that are filled with lymph or pus, and finally to flat crusts that fall off in 1 to 3 weeks. Chickenpox usually begins with a slight, sometimes unnoticeable, fever that appears before the rash.
