I have chickenpox and I am experiencing severe itching. What should I do?
Asked by Female, 29 ยท 8 days ago
Severe itching in chickenpox is common and occurs as the skin lesions heal. Keep your skin clean, wear loose cotton clothing, and avoid scratching to prevent infection and scarring. You may use cool compresses and keep your nails short to reduce skin damage. Consult a doctor if itching becomes severe or if signs of infection appear.
