Question
A person has chicken pox and it’s already the third day. The weather is hot, and there are many blisters and small red spots on the body. Uncertain about whether it’s okay to bathe, as it’s been two days since the last bath, but worried that not bathing might lead to other diseases.
Answer
It is possible to bathe when having chicken pox, but use warm water and avoid overly hot water and irritating soaps. Avoid excessive scrubbing to reduce skin irritation and itching. It is recommended to maintain a moderate temperature in the home environment, avoiding too much heat, which can lower the risk of skin irritation. For treatment, it is suggested to use antiviral medications and maintain a light diet, avoiding going out. During this period, drink plenty of water and eat more fruits and vegetables to help alleviate symptoms.
