Not trying to be a buzz kill but you may be susceptible to chicken pox v2 aka the shingles. And purely judging from what I read they look like a nightmare... 🙄
I hope you get well soon!!
Unfortunately I don't know any remedies that may speed your recovery
But try your doctors I remember getting a pink smelly lotion as a kid
Maybe they'll provide you with the lotion?
Try not to itch them else you'll get marks
Rest well, you may want to put calamine lotion on the spots to ease the itching. I got chicken pox when I was 16 and found that bathing in warm water soothed it a little bit.
How old you op? I got it when I was an adult and almost died.
I still have scares from it :frown:
Older you are the more dangerous it is.

I'm 24... 😐

How long did it take for you to get out of isolation?

My spots are still in the reddish- rash stage. Apparently it's 2-3 days away from being crusted. And how did you almost "die"?? 🐔

I was 20 and In a third world country when I got it.
I had it for about a month before it started to calm down.
The spots themself is extremely itchy.

Every member of my family has had it on separate occasions. I somehow failed to catch it each time. Smh don't know whether to cry or be happy.
