Have a question on a rash.

There was something that was like a reoccuring rash that my aunt has. I was told it was from the same virus that caused the chicken pox. But I forgot what my grandmother called it. It did not start occuring until she was in her late 40's. Could you help me by giving me a name of what this might have been?
My grandmother and aunt have since passed and no one else in the family remembers and I am the only one who trying to gather the family's medical history so that it is a benefit to us all. Seem they are more interested in researching the family genealogy rather than looking to the health issues of the family members as a means to troubleshoot their own health.
Thank you,
iamcutielee
