Hello , I am a 17 year old Girl and I have a had a very bad rash all over my body with blisters on then for the past 2 months . I recently did a Varicella test to see if it could be chicken pox , my results where >1500 for IgG which is positive and 11.3 for IgM which is negative , Does this mean I currently have the infection or I have had it in the past? .From what I now chicken pox only last a week or but I've had this for almost 2 months.I recently started acyclovir but it hasn't done much.

The chickenpox is likely a past infection. Your rash has clear liquid filled sores called bullae. This suggests a different answer and you should seek out a dermatologist. I do not believe acyclovir will help.
