Well as most know my new son in law got chicken pox on his honeymoon and so he was contagious the weekend of the wedding. Sure enough my 15 year old daughter got them this weekend. I am still waiting to see if his wife got them because she has had them so many times already but as of Saturday night she hadn't. Well my 15 year old only has a few and is supposed to start school this week. She is allergic to antihistimines so can't give her anything for the inside itching. I guess I am worried that she has more inside then outside and if that is the case can other catch it still? If the outside ones are scabbed over I know she can go to school but that inside itching seems worse this time then ever before so can others get it if she is still itchy inside. I guess it would called shingles because that is adult chicken pox. Anyone know?

Err, it sounds really strange. I've heard of people having chicken pox twice, but 4th, no.

No I am sorry I do not know that one. DId you try your family doctor or call the local clinic or hospital? They could answer over the phone. Two of my little ones just got over the chicken pox a month or so ago. It sucks. I am sorry your daughter has to suffer through that. They say adults have it way worse than kids. SO she is kind of lucky to get over it now before she is older. I feel really bad for you guys. If you find out how to treat internal ones let me know. IT is a good source for future references. Good luck. Hope she gets better soon.
