How To Cure Skin Rashes And Frequent Urination With Chicken Pox?
Hi I'm 15 around 56kg and 169 cm male. I currently have a bad case of chickenpox at the moment and have these dark red scabs all over my face. Will they turn into scars and if so are they permanent? My mouth and throat is infect as well as under and on my foreskin. Will urinating frequently affect my genital area? As urinating is so painful at the moment

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
It is highly communicable 1-2 days before the appearance of rash and 4-5 days thereafter. After which virus tends to die out and looses the capacity to transmit disease to normal individuals.
The scabbing usually begins 4-7 days after the rash and completed by 30 days. During the scabbing period you are sterile and will not transmit disease to others.
This is a disease which will affect all parts of the body from head to toe including the genitals.
Thank you.

the scabs on your face will take time to go. some of them can be permanent if you scratch them. because of the active papules in genital area you are having pain, but when they will decrease the pain will subside & this wont cause any problem.
