I've been dealing with chickenpox and noticed now that my entire body is itching, even in places where there are no rashes. It's been 12 days since I first noticed the symptoms. Is this normal or could it be something else?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is normal to experience itching even in areas where there are no chickenpox rashes during the recovery phase. To help alleviate the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply Calamine lotion to the affected areas for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching to prevent any potential skin infections.

I've noticed that the skin around the outside of my right toenail has gotten really soft and there's this watery liquid forming. Is this something I should be worried about, like an infection, and what steps should I take to treat it?
This sounds like you may have a paronychia, which is an infection of the skin around the toenail. You can try soaking your foot in warm water with Epsom salts a few times a day to help reduce the infection. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. If the infection is severe or does not improve, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment.
