Thank you for posting your query. I can understand that you are worried of having chicken pox.
See the rashes of chicken pox usually occur all over the body. There would be fever, itching , weakness and all the rashes won't come up at the same time.
Your rashes could also be due to contact dermatitis . For that you can apply Calamine lotion and Clindamycin phosphate gel 1.2%. Take Tablet Fexofenadine(120mg) once daily for 10 days.
I would suggest you to wait for a day or two and then visit a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. Have a nice day
