Hi,

Thanks for your query.

After having a look at the images you sent me, I do consider them probably to be Chicken pox.It is not completely true that adults are not affected by chicken pox.It rarely but does affect adults specially those people who never had such an encounter in childhood.Also sometimes can affect for the second time too.

The medications you are on are specific and will partly halt the progress of the infection and reduce the infectivity.Although you are on medication since it is a highly contagious disease ,I would recommend you not to move yourself into crowded places and take care not to spread.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

You can consume any kinds of food but better to avoid spicy food as you are on medications.Do consume lots of fruits and vegetables.

I would recommend you not to share any articles like towel plates etc with your wife and that will suffice.

Apply CALADRYL lotion twice daily over the affected area it will minimise the itching and also prevent scars .

Hope I answered all your questions. Please use any answer clarification before closing and rating this answer. I will be happy to explain or expand on any issue you may have.

Regards,
