hi cristal! where are you now? i haven't been seeing you? so what did you do with your chicken pox? how did you cure it? i remember the day i contracted chicken pox. that was when i was in my second year high school. we were practicing for our dance presentation for our Recognition day, i was one of the honor students, when i felt itchy at some parts of my body and i noticed the soft pockmarks appearing in some parts of my body. then my teacher said it was chicken pox and they decided not to let me join the presentation. i was told to go home and i wasn't able to attend the recognition day. i can't remember if i took medicines for that. all i remember was everything was so itchy and i was absent for a long time from school. ^__^;;

i don't know what are the good scar removers but maybe you can use a whitening soap. and a lot of people say sebo de macho is effective. i guess you can try that. long time no see cristalkate! miss you too sister!!

I herd that chicken pox is a really bad illness but you can't die from it............ it may go away from 2 days to 3 weeks..if its serious it may last longer..but it doesn't harm you..GOOD LUCK RECOVERING one more thing..i herd that after you had chicken pox once it never comes back to the exact same person...freaky stuff.........

I have had chicken pox and so did both of my kids. A great cure for the itching is to take an oatmeal bath. Get a tub of quick cooking oats and pour part of them into hot bath water and it will help to dry them up and help to stop the itching.

There is a lotion named Calamine that is really good for chicken pox.It will stop the itching.In the Bahamas we also boil shepherd needle bush and drink it.THis will usually make them go away sooner.If ot just try and remain patient after about10 days they will go away.If you live close to an ocean I would suggest taking a swim that will also help with the itching.Best of luck to you.

Do you have tamarind trees nearby you. Boil the leaves drink some and bathe in it. This will help stop the itching.
