I would like to know whether you had herpes zoster, herpes labialis or genital herpes. If you had herpes zoster, you are unlikely to get chickenpox. Herpes labialis, i.e., herpes near the lip area and genital herpes are caused by viruses other than that responsible for chicken pox, so you can have chickenpox if you don't have a history of the same in your past.
Next Steps
Give a clearer description of your diagnosis, what symptoms you had, which body area was involved.
