Hi
Hi Dr
I am XXXXXXX
Hi XXXXXXX
currently, i am suffering from chicken fox
How can I help?
ok
and i have a planned nose endoscopy on 1st april.
can i procede with the surgery?
I need to know when your symptoms started
13th march
Though the rash would have disappeared by then
yes
I think it is worthwhile to wait for atleast 10 days after the blisters have crusted
How many blisters do you have at present?
problem is, i have already booked flight tickets and to reschedule it will be very costly for me
In count, around 60
on full body
They are lot
When did the last blister appear?
i think, yesterday
now they are drying and color is changing to black
You are on the edge
The reason is that the nasal mucosa will be friable
due to inflammation
You do not want to bleed during the procedure
Though the healing would be almost complete by then
and your health almost restored
Thus I would say that you would be on the edge
so, what will you recommend?
If it just endoscopy but no biopsy or cutting the tissues then you can go
If there would be biopsy and cutting then I would suggest that you postpone
yup endoscopy only
no cuts
ok thanks
Then I think you can go
Hi again
I think the chat got disconnected
Do you have any questions now?
yes
will these blistors will leave any scars?
Most of them will heal
without scars
It may scar if the blisters are big or get infected and produce pus
Do not pick on them
Let them heal by themselves
ok Thanks Dr
