I've just gotten over a bout of chickenpox and it seems like I'm all cured now after about 15 days. I'm wondering how long I should wait before it's safe to have sex with my wife. What do you think?

yes you can do because Chickenpox is contagious for one to two days before the appearance of the rash and until the blisters have dried and become scabs.

I'm really concerned about this itch on the pad of my right thumb that's been driving me crazy for the past week. There's no sign of a bite or any redness, swelling, or anything like that. Ive tried scratching it, biting it, and rubbing it on various things, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
You may be experiencing a case of contact dermatitis. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to the affected area up to twice a day. Make sure to avoid any potential irritants or allergens that may be causing the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
