Treatment of Chickenpox (Varicella) at Arwin Dermatology Hospital

Chickenpox (also known as varicella) is a highly contagious viral disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It primarily affects children, but adults can also contract it—often with more severe symptoms. At Arwin Dermatology Hospital, we offer specialized care for chickenpox, focusing on symptom relief, prevention of complications, and faster recovery.

🩺 Symptoms of Chickenpox

- Mild to moderate fever  
- Fatigue and body aches  
- Itchy skin rashes that begin as red spots and develop into fluid-filled blisters  
- Blisters that dry out and form scabs  
- Loss of appetite and general feeling of illness  

> These rashes typically appear first on the face, chest, and back, then spread to other parts of the body.

💊 Treatment Methods at Arvin Dermatology Hospital

1. Symptom Relief
- Fever-reducing medications such as paracetamol  
- Anti-itch creams to soothe the skin  
- Lukewarm baths with oatmeal or baking soda to reduce itching  
- Adequate hydration and rest to support recovery  

2. Antiviral Medications (for Severe Cases)
- Antiviral drugs like acyclovir may be prescribed for adults, pregnant women, or individuals with weakened immune systems  

3. Prevention of Secondary Infections
- Keeping the skin clean  
- Trimming nails to prevent scratching  
- Using antiseptic ointments if necessary  

4. Preventing Transmission
- Patients should avoid contact with others until all blisters have dried (typically 5–7 days)
