the early stages, a person infected with the chickenpox disease will have signs
of appetite loss, muscle pains and headache. In the later stages, the disease
gets worst and the infected person will start to have rashes all over the body.
The rashes do not stick for too long. The main headache for chickenpox infected
patients is the lesions that are formed on the skin. This accompanied by the
itchiness that the sufferer faces. If the lesions burst, blood will ooze out of
the skin. It is very easy for the lesions to burst, mainly due to the itchiness
caused by the chickenpox disease. The infected person will be tempted to
scratch the lesions, and this causes bleeding.
