Chickenpox and shingles

2017-02-20 04:34:33
Hi - I recently recovered from chickenpox. I had breakouts last February 6. All the blisters have already scabbed and scarred and i'm back to work today. Now my mom shows signs of chickenpox as blisters are forming in her scalp. She's already had it before though. Is developing shingles already a possibility for me this soon? Thank you!
