Can Chickenpox Spread Into Eye?

Hi, I'm 20 years old and started to get chickenpox yeterday,there is constantly new pox, and now there's one that I accidently popped on my eyelid,it hurts. Can it spread into my eye and cause problems with my vision? Also my penis forehead,underneath the forehead skin,is itching and there is 2 small red dots on it. Is this normal? Os will it cause complications? How long is the period of new pox evolving?

Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Saddiq-ul-Abidin. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.
I am sorry to know that you are suffering from chicken pox but I want to assure you that it is usually self limiting, although symptoms are very irritating and annoying.

Chicken box can spread to practically anywhere in the body from eye to penis even inside mouth and throat. It is quite notorious infection for mucous membranes and it can irritate them. Chicken pox on penis are possible even they have been reported inside urethra.

It usually takes 7-10 days to recover from chicken pox your doctor must have started medicines , you just have to take them regularly. Don't pop the bumps by yourself they are going to leave marks if you do. Even without popping they can leave marks but you don't have to worry with time marks will go.

In next week or so your rash will grow and will reach a peak then it will regress and go away in 3-4 further days. You just have to tale Tylenol for fever and drink loads of water even if not thirsty every thing will be fine soon.
Take rest and don't panic.
