Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I am suspecting an insect bite rather than chicken pox as she has already had it once. Most unlikely to occur as infection with chicken pox gives almost lifelong immunity. I suggest you apply calamine lotion over the rash to reduce the redness and look for any other symptoms. If she is well, there is no reason to worry.
Thanks.
