Chickenpox on the Bottom? Understanding the Rash & Symptoms

Yes, chickenpox can start on the bottom. In fact, it can start anywhere on the body, including the scalp, face, torso, arms, and legs. The rash typically starts as small, itchy red bumps that can turn into blisters. The blisters may break open and crust over, and they can take up to 2-3 weeks to fully heal.
