What is chickenpox and how it is cured?

Answer 1

Treatment for chickenpox is symptomatic; there's no cure but your immune system normally gets rid of the symptoms on its own. Antiitch remedies and other comfort measures can help. There are really 2 main oils to help get rid of scars left from chicken pox and they are camomile oil and emu oil.

Answer 2

Chickenpox is a viral infection that is unlikely to have serious complications. You normally just wait for your own body's immune system to "cure" the acute infection (though it will stay dormant in your system for many years and may cause shingles when your immune system is depressed). Treatment is normally just symptomatic. Antiviral medications are given to people with serious disease or a high risk of complications, but aren't normally used for most cases of chickenpox.

Answer 3

Chicken pox is Herpes Zoster, an airborne contagious virus. There is no cure once you've got it. So get the vaccination. Chicken pox can be extremely serious for pregnant women and can reoccur in adulthood as shingles.

Answer 4

Depending on the severity of the chicken pox scars there is a variety of effective treatments available.

For superficial scars, fractional resurfacing with an erbium laser. May take a couple of treatments.

For a little deeper, may want to use Fractional C02 resurfacing.

If you have just a couple that are very deep, you may want to visit a plastic surgeon to have them excised or cut out.

When consulting in the Skin Care industry, know that the superficial treatments will not work. They may help very slightly, but most are not satisfied with light chemical peels or microdermabrasion on chicken pox scars.

I am not 100% sure because i have never tried it myself, but I have heard from pharmacists and others that coco butter does remove marks left by chicken pox.
My mom used medurma on me when i was a baby 27 years ago
Maderma might work.
Chicken Pox scars are usually from scratching or picking pox when they are in their present blister state during a chicken pox outbreak. The best way to remove chicken pox scars is to avoid scratching or picking at the pox. Once the scarring has occurred it is best to use vitamin E oil on the marks 4-5 times day. Although scars may never truly go away, they can lessen in color making them barely visible.
You cannot "heal" scars without the help of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

The best you can do is use the over-the-counter brand of scar tissue fading cream called Mederma. I believe they also make their product in strips and spots that adhere to the skin like bandages. I have used Mederma on a scar to the right of my mouth and after about two months, it was much less visible.
Having dermabrasion treatment where the skin is 'sanded back' to even it out is an effective way. Ask a doctor for a referral to a specialist.
you have to just use very good makeup
You need a q-tip and a darker shade of makeup. If u want it

to last use a darker shade of concealer just inside the mark and cover that spot and the rest if your face with powder foundation that matches your skin color.

Answer 5

According to me the best remedy for chicken pox scars is aloe vera. Aloe vera is well known for its healing properties. Try to use fresh aloe vera extract daily for better results. You can also use aloe vera lotions and ointments.

Answer 6

There are medical treatments for chickenpox for people with severe infection (oral antivirals like acyclovir, or IVIG in severely ill patient), but most people do well with home remedies and over-the-counter treatments:

• Take something cold and put it on the rash. that should stop the itching.
• Do not itch anymore- it will become worse.
• Polaramine antihistamine 6mg repetabs really help with the discomfort and itch. The pharmacist also recommended Chemmart Strong Pain with Calmative tablets..(they contain Paracetamol 500mg, Codeine Phosphate 10mg and Doxylamine Succinate 5.1mg.) Another helpful product was McGloins Animine Lignocaine Anti-itch lotion. ( this has a anisthetic properties that numbs the area slightly. Good for kids if you dont like giving them tablets.
• You can either take a BATH with oatmeal in it or with Aveeno in it to take away the itch
• just let it be!
• chamomile oil can help stop itchiness but time is the only thing that will make them go away
• bathing in cool or lukewarm water once a day can help the itch. Adding four to eight ounces of baking soda or one or two cups of oatmeal to the bath is a good idea.
• An antihistamine such as hydrocortisone cream is quite effective at treating the itching and a safe organic alternative wold be an oatmeal bath.
• do not administer aspirin or aspirin-containing products, as this can cause a fatal condition known as Reye's syndrome in children.
• You can also put turmeric powder mixed with lime juice on the infected area.
• mix some anti-itching liquid into the bath water such as pinetarsarol.
• Tylenol for fever
• Use Calamine lotion to stop the itching. Eventually they will go away.

Answer 8

Information

Question:

Can chickenpox be treated?

Answer:

Yes.

Chickenpox symptoms can be controlled with soothing baths or antihistamines to decrease itching. Acetaminophen may help control fever, headache, or muscle pain. Do not give aspirin to children with chickenpox, because this can increase the child's risk of Reye syndrome.

An antiviral drug can be used to treat the symptoms of chickenpox in persons older than age 2. The drug should help reduce the severity of chickenpox symptoms, especially in older children and teenagers, if taken within 24 hours of the rash's first appearance.

A vaccine to prevent chickenpox is available for children over age 1 who have not previously had the disease.

Chickenpox can be a very severe in patients who have weakened immune systems, such as persons with cancer and who have had an organ transplant. High risk people should be treated with antiviral drugs if they have been exposed to chicken pox and are not immune, or if they become sick with chickenpox. For detailed information, see the article on chickenpox.
