Chickenpox Aware

Chickenpox is a highly infectious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus, which typically presents with fever followed by an itchy, spotty rash that evolves into blisters and then scabs. Although most cases are mild, it can lead to serious complications, particularly in high-risk groups such as adults, pregnant women, newborns, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Management of chickenpox in healthy children usually does not require medical treatment; however, it is important to relieve itching and prevent scratching to avoid skin infections. Should complications arise, early consultation with a healthcare professional is advised to determine appropriate care.
