Can you get chickenpox twice?
One of my colleagues in office discovered he has shingles 3 weeks ago(he came back to work after a week of treatment). Today I saw chickenpox like blisters on my skin. Around 8 not clustered but spread out. I don't feel feverish or fatigued. One or two of them are itchy.
I had a mild case of chickenpox about 5 years ago. Do I have it again? Is it possible to get shingles from another shingles patient.

Less likely. Only weak immune system people get it twice.
