Hi,

It may be varicella ...means chicken pox. It is a viral skin disease caused by varicella zoster virus. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Antiviral like acyclovir 800 mg tablet may be taken five times a day for about two weeks. Take antihistaminics like like cetirizine 10 mg daily to relieve itching. Apply silver sulfadiazine cream on the lesions. Take bed rest and be isolated as it is highly infectious. Take bath with dettol liquid.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
