Chickenpox in adults is almost

Question: Hello. I am a month 23, a child was sick, the first symptoms of chickenpox appeared about 7 days ago: 3-5 individual pimples in various parts of the body, which are then picked. 4 days ago woke up terribly weak, without any symptoms, the evening her temperature rose to nearly 38, a headache in the frontal part. The next day continued, the temperature still rose slightly (to 38. 5). All this time thought that a viral infection such as influenza or streptokkoka. Yesterday, towards evening rash increased exponentially, primarily on the face. I have very weak immunity (a tough year, a huge shortage of vitamins and other dermatological diseases, in-rye I wore out, session). Pugh vitamins (askorbinku, AEVIT), began to eat fruits, gargle with sage, and mouth – soda. On the face of a living meta no – all in blisters, and brilliant green. . Questions: I know that can not skovyrivat sores, but when some liquid from the sores, she immediately crystallized. At the slightest touch of these yellow crystals separated. Can it happen? Or skovyrivt not be the last stage of the disease? And more: the particularly large blister fluid freezes, even in the channel and does not allow the incident to go out again. Causes pain. I have heard of some expensive foreign ointments that supposedly can be used instead of green fodder at least on the face and after which there remains a scar. What kind of ointment? Advise whether something else to treat me, and how to escape from itching? I salootdelenie high on the head and face. Can I wipe the face spitrovym solution to remove all dirt, and then again to smear Zelenka (or ointment)? Thank you!

Answer: You should see a doctor. For chickenpox is not characterized by the formation of significant quantities of "yellow crystals. It may look streptococcal skin lesions. Yes, and after 7 days of onset of chickenpox suddenly repeated waves – not typical. Call the doctor back home. Or to chickenpox joined a bacterial infection and it's time to add the antibiotic, or it is not chicken pox, but the antibiotic with massive defeat will also be needed. Sincerely, Zakharenko SM


bathing and ultra-violet rays

Herpes-zoster

Question: Physio-infectious diseases said that I had herpes zoster. Virtually all sources on the Internet, as it is said that the disease is lifelong, often for repeat offenses, but still very contagious. Did you write that almost can be cured if treatment is to begin on time. I take Noviral (acyclovir) was only 4-5th day after the appearance of bubbles. And such seems nettles have made to slash near the lumbar spine. Could a doctor make a mistake with the diagnosis, because the bubbles have appeared suddenly in the morning. It was not burning before. Also taking alcohol during treatment. The drug is not entirely accurate in the number and time during the week. The doctor offered me another three days to take an enhanced dose of 2 tablets of 400 mg. three days. Correct? I'm on the second day was oral contact. Could I get the girl? In the future, whether there is likely to be infected with intimacy? And can we all did finally get rid of eelgrass? Do not fear, if I took a couple of weeks ago, a course of antibiotics? Can I sunbathe and when it will be possible to take alcohol? Can he be the cause of nonspecific urethritis?

Answer: I have not seen you and I can not judge about the correct diagnosis or not. Alcohol and violation of drug intake reduces therapeutic effect, especially in viral infections. Each doctor to prescribe medication for his technique and I will not dare to comment on the appointment of another doctor. If intimacy or oral sex occurs during acute disease, the infection is possible. Sunbathing can. Alcohol can be taken only after the control of negative tests. Any chronic infection, including herpes can cause urethritis.
