If you had it as a baby, it could be chickenpox: if not enough immunity is built up the first time, then the varciella-zoster virus can strike again, as chickenpox, not shingles.

Not all red spots would be considered chickenpox. It could be a simple rash, or infection. See your healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and treatment of your rash. Chickenpox usually starts with feverish-like illness, or a cold. The illness usually lasts about a week, to two weeks, and it is very common amongst young children, although older youth and adult are able to have it, although it is quite uncommon. The hallmark of the chickenpox rash is finding bumps in various stages at the same time, including blisters, sores, and scabs. Red bumps that don't meet this criterion are not likely to be chickenpox.
If you spent time with someone with chickenpox, you could be infected unless you had chickenpox or the vaccine before.
If you had chickenpox, it's possible for your bumps to get a secondary infection. In other words, you could have a bacterial infection of the chickenpox sores.
Natural immunity to chickenpox results from previous infection. There is no other way to be naturally immune to chickenpox. Sometimes, the previous infection may be mild enough that the disease was not noticed. You can become artificially immune to chickenpox by getting chickenpox vaccine.
Chickenpox virus remains in your body, and may be reactivated later to cause shingles.
Patients sometimes get a rash after chickenpox vaccine. It is possible that he could be contagious if his bumps are due to vaccine. He could be having an allergic reaction to the vaccination, or it could be a coincidence, and not be related to the vaccination. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your health history.
