Chicken Pox
Small blisters appear in crops over several days. These eventually turn crusty and fall off after a few days. There is no cure for chicken pox and children usually do not need to consult a Doctor. Chicken pox in adults however, can be a more serious infection. Itching may be eased a little by calamine lotion and cool baths. The most infectious period is from 2 or 3 days before the rash appears until the last spots have scabbed over. Children may then return to school.
