In rare chickenpox case, itchy blisters mushroom into large, rubbery nodules

A teenager developed rare, keloid-like rubbery skin nodules after chickenpox.

Doctors believed the lesions were caused by abnormal wound healing and scar overgrowth.

The case was monitored, and the patient opted for symptom management over invasive treatment.

It underscores an unusual varicella complication and how hard keloids can be to treat once they form.
