Patients are not prescribed antibiotics for chickenpox because it is a viral infection, and antibiotics are effective only against bacterial infections.

Can you get chickenpox if you are already on antibiotics for a skin infection?

No. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus and cannot be treated with an antibiotic as antibiotics target bacterial infections.Chickenpox can usually run its course without seeking medical intervention, but visiting a doctor as soon as the rash appears may enable them to diagnose it early enough to give you antiviral medication. This medication will slow and stop the spread of the rash and reduce the healing time. However a doctor should usually be visited as soon as possible to offer suggestions and -if it was caught early enough- prescriptions.Chickenpox is highly contagious and people with the virus should avoid contact with other people until the blisters scab over, signalling that the virus is no longer contagious.
