Chicken pox is a common childhood disease caused by a virus. From ten to twenty days after exposure the symptoms begin with mild headache, loss of appetite and fever. Then after thirty-six hours the eruption appears. The rash usually is seen on the body and later on the face, neck, and extremities. Little red pinpoints enlarge to papules which change to blisters or vesicles. After a few days these break and are covered by dark brown crusts. The spots may become secondarily infected from scratching and pus infection will leave scars.
Chicken pox requires little treatment except to keep the areas free from secondary infection. The fingernails of children should be kept trimmed short. The itching is controllable by a calamine lotion containing one per cent of menthol or of phenol. If secondary infection occurs, antibiotic ointments will stop the spread. Chicken pox seems to be related to the nerve condition causing blisters known as herpes zoster. The common name for herpes zoster is “shingles.”
