Home Remedies For Chickenpox That REALLY Work

Chickenpox, otherwise known as varicella, is a highly contagious viral infection that causes a blister-like rash, usually isolated to one part of the body (such as the face or torso) initially, before it spreads to other areas of the body. The rash, which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, is not life-threatening, but it may take up to two weeks before it completely resolves. Symptoms are similar to the common cold and may include a fever, chills, muscle aches, and loss of appetite. A rash usually occurs two days after symptoms arise.
