My12 year old daughter had chicken pox very mildly at age3, again this past November, and just broke out again overnight.  Is it possible that she could get them repeatedly like this?

After your daughter have had chickenpox, she does not likely to get it again. But the virus stays in her body long after ahe get over the illness. If the virus becomes active again, it can cause a painful viral infection called shingles.
