My son has recently had chickenpox for the third time. All 3 times confirmed by doctors. All 3 times he gets a spots that do not reach the blister stage.

1st time was around 2 years old, second time around 6 years old and again now at 10 years old.

Most medical professionals either both professionally and family and friends all say they have never heard of someone having it 3 times. 2 sure but never 3.

I'm wondering if I should be worried about my sons immune system at all or what it means?

Additional info that may or may not be relevant :His father has Rhumatoid arthritis and I have never had the MMR vaccine.
