Chicken pox can spread to areas of the body that aren't usually affected with other infections, like the hands, feet, scalp and mouth. Complications can occur if chicken pox lesions are present internally. Fortunately, since widespread vaccination began in the mid-1990s the incidence of chicken pox and its complications have decreased dramatically.
