I've been dealing with chickenpox for about six days now, and I'm really trying to figure out the best way to take care of myself and recover. Are there specific foods I should avoid or things I shouldn't do while I'm going through this? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to feel better soon.

To care for chickenpox, follow these steps: stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, like water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich drinks; eat a bland diet of foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet); avoid scratching, spicy, or acidic foods, and drinks like citrus juices or caffeinated beverages; take over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen for fever and pain, and antihistamines for itching; apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to soothe skin irritation; and get plenty of rest, while also maintaining good hygiene practices, like washing hands frequently, to prevent the spread of the virus

I've been using Skinlite, and whenever I stop, my face seems to get darker. I'm really trying to quit it. Do you think it's safe to switch to Kojishine cream instead? I'm worried about the effects.

I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle. There's a bit of a reddish tint, and my skin is actually peeling from these spots. I'm really worried about what kind of infection this might be. Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
