Research has shown that the Chickenpox causing virus, varicella zoster, remains in the nerve cells after recovery. Shingles, in later life, is caused by a reactivation of the virus.

Chickenpox occurs all over the body, whereas shingles forms a small rash on either the torso, face or neck.

No, chicken pox is from a virus. Ringworm is a fungal infection. There is no connection between the two.
