Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Your history and symptoms suggests me that you are having classical symptoms of chicken pox. Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus.
A person with chickenpox is infectious one to two days before the rash appears and remains contagious until all lesions have crusted over and this takes approximately six days.
This is a self limiting disease, the antiviral drug is prescribed to control the multiplication of virus rather than destroying the virus. The antibiotics are prescribed to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
I would suggest you to follow
1.Trim your nails
2.Apply calamine solutions over the rashes
3.Oral antihistamines.
With these remedies the symptoms will come down and improve your condition.
Thank you.
