Acne is like breakouts on your face due to a large amount of oil or bacteria. However, chicken pox is a virus. Acne is caused by a bacterial infection, but chicken pox is a virus that infects your cells. When someone has acne they tend to have really bad breakouts on their face and sometimes on their chest too. But with chicken pox, people get bumps and they also get red spots,  headaches, loss of appetite, itching, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and ulcers. So to conclude this acne and chicken pox are two different things. And if you experience any of the symptoms of the chicken pox talk to your parents about consulting with a doctor. I hope this helps

Well, no.

Chicken pox are contagious, and acne is not. Also you would be very sick if you had chicken pox.

In appearance, I wouldn't go as far and say that they are alike, or similar as Chicken pox spread across the whole body.

Hope this helps!
