I'm 39 years old and have been dealing with chickenpox for the last couple of days. The blisters are all over my body, especially on my face. I've heard about using Dettol antiseptic liquid for bathing, and I'm wondering if that's okay while I'm dealing with such severe symptoms. I'm just worried about whether it might irritate my skin more or if it could help sanitize those blisters a bit. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been noticing some cuts in my skin near my inner thighs, and I think it's because of the dryness from the winter weather. I've already started using a moisturizer to help with the dryness, but I'm really worried about how to actually heal these skin cuts. Could you give me some advice on what else I could do?

I'm experiencing some really annoying itching in my scrotum, especially at night. And when I'm walking or moving around, it really bothers me in the groin area. It's just starting, so I can usually control the urge to scratch, but it gets tough sometimes. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I can do about it?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
