The fundamental difference between chickenpox and measles is that they are caused by different viruses. chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus, and measles is caused by the measles virus. Measles rashes 3 to 4 days after a fever, while chickenpox usually rashes on the same day or the next day.
