Possible ChickenPox??😷?
K so I'm 13 & never have had chickenpox before. Last week I felt nausea and feverish, but didnt have a fever, then it went away. Yesterday I felt the exact same but it went away again. I woke up this morning with nausea once again and I started to itch my face. Then, a large rash broke out on my face. Before I knew it, I was itching EVERYWHERE!!! There are sections of my body that have rashes, not everywhere I'd say 40%. They're not big bumps, just rashes. It feels like my skin is crawling. Right now, I feel like puking!! So is it chicken pox? And if it isn't that, what could it be??

Measles is a childhood infection caused by a virus. Once quite common, measles can now be prevented with a vaccine. Signs and symptoms of measles include cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes, sore throat, fever and a red, blotchy skin rash.
Also called rubeola, measles can be serious and even fatal for small children. While death rates have been falling worldwide as more children receive the measles vaccine, the disease still kills several hundred thousand people a year, most under the age of 5.
By 2000, the measles vaccine had practically eliminated measles in the United States. But there has been a recent resurgence of the disease, as more people have chosen not to vaccinate their children.
