Is it possible to have chicken pox blisters only on your fingers and the soles of your feet, and them not be itchy? My daughter reported having small spots on her fingers a couple of days ago, that were tender to the touch. Then the soles of her feet were sore. The finger spots grew larger and more pronounced, and this afternoon some of the spots look more like blister burns, and her feet are showing similar spots. A couple of the spots on her hands now have a whitish center. They have never itched, but she was taking over the counter allergy medicine until 2 days ago. She stayed home from school on Monday afternoon and Tuesday because of cold-type symptoms - tired and lethargic, sore muscles and throat, hot flashes and chills. She was taking Dayquill and Nyquill. Chicken-pox has been going around our schools. She has NO spots anywhere else - just fingers/palms and soles of feet. No changes in laundry soap or diet.

During the scabbing period patient will be sterile and will not transmit disease to others. As your friend is having confirmed case of chickenpox, it is highly infectious and spread by Chat Doctor.
