Brief Answer:
This looks like chickenpox - you need to give Acyclovir

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

This looks like chickenpox. You can give oral Acyclovir five times a day for 5 days.

However, this is a prescription drug and you will need a doctor's prescription for this.

Hope I have answered your query.

Thank you.
