What should I do if I have chicken pox that itches like crazy?

Itchy chickenpox can be improved by general measures and medication. 1. General measures: For patients with itchy chickenpox, they should avoid scratching the skin, otherwise it may cause herpes rupture and increase the chance of infection. 2. Medication: Patients can take oral antihistamine drugs, such as loratadine, cetirizine, etc., to stop the itching effect. If the herpes is not ruptured, you can also apply local glycerine lotion to stop itching. If the herpes ruptures due to scratching or squeezing, topical antibiotics such as fusidic acid and mupirocin are needed to fight infection. Chickenpox is a self-limiting disease, generally symptomatic treatment, need to follow the doctor’s prescription medication. It is recommended that patients rest more during the period of illness, avoid exertion, pay attention to diet, strengthen nutritional intake, and promote recovery.
